"The Internet Explorer installation on the remote host is
missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way
    the scripting engine handles objects in memory in
    Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt
    memory in such a way that an attacker could execute
    arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An
    attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability
    could gain the same user rights as the current user.
    (CVE-2018-8287, CVE-2018-8288, CVE-2018-8291)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when
    Microsoft Internet Explorer improperly handles requests
    involving UNC resources. An attacker who successfully
    exploited the vulnerability could force the browser to
    load data that would otherwise be restricted.
