The Microsoft (1) JScript 5.8 and (2) VBScript 5.8 engines, as used in Internet Explorer 9 through 11 and other products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0189.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-0187 is a Microsoft scripting engine memory corruption issue affecting JScript 5.8 and VBScript 5.8 as used in Internet Explorer 9 through 11 and other products. A crafted website could let a remote attacker run code or crash the process. The bundle does not provide CVSS data. Exposure is most likely where legacy Internet Explorer 9, 10, or 11 remains available, or where Microsoft products embed the affected JScript/VBScript 5.8 engines. The bundle does not enumerate all “other products,” so product-level scoping requires vendor bulletin review. Treat this as a high-priority legacy Microsoft browser risk if Internet Explorer is still present. The business concern is remote code execution from web content, but urgency depends on whether affected legacy components remain in the environment. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS16-051 and MS16-053 for applicable security updates.; Apply the relevant Microsoft security updates to affected systems.; Identify and reduce reliance on legacy Internet Explorer where possible..
