The remote host is missing one of the workarounds referenced in KB 2887505.

The remote version of Internet Explorer (IE) reportedly has a memory corruption vulnerability related to how IE accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated. By exploiting this flaw, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the user running the affected application.
