This host is missing a critical security update according to Microsoft security updates KB4018271. Multiple flaws exist due to errors in the way JavaScript scripting engines handle objects in memory, rendering SmartScreen Filter, and accessing objects in memory, along with an unspecified error. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to redirect a user to a specially crafted website, load insecure content from secure locations, and execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Affected versions are Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.x, 10.x, and 11.x. The vendor has released updates
