The remote host is missing the workaround referenced in KB 2757760 (Microsoft ‘Fix it’ 50939). This workaround mitigates a use-after-free vulnerability in Internet Explorer. Without this workaround enabled, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into view a maliciously crafted web page, resulting in arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
This plugin has been deprecated due to the publication of MS12-063.
Microsoft has released patches that make the workarounds unnecessary. To check for the patches, use Nessus plugin ID 62223.
