The host is installed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or 9 and is prone to information disclosure vulnerability. A flaw is present in the proxy settings configuration, which does not properly reuse TCP sessions to the proxy server. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information intended for a specific host via a crafted HTML document that triggers many HTTPS requests and then triggers an HTTP request to that host.
