The Microsoft (1) JScript 5.8 and (2) VBScript 5.7 and 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-2016-3205 and CVE-2016-3207.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Microsoft scripting engine memory corruption flaw. A user who visits a malicious website with affected Internet Explorer or a product using the affected engines could expose the system to remote code execution or a crash. Exposure is most likely where legacy Internet Explorer 9, 10, or 11 remains usable, or where applications depend on Microsoft JScript or VBScript engines. The bundle does not enumerate all affected other products. Treat as high priority for legacy Microsoft browser environments because the impact includes remote code execution. Urgency depends on whether affected Internet Explorer or scripting-engine-dependent products remain present. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft security updates referenced in MS16-063 and MS16-069.; Prioritize systems where Internet Explorer 9 through 11 is still used.; Check Microsoft guidance for other affected products using these engines..
