Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 6 does not properly handle uninitialized COM objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by the Nth function in the DirectAnimation.DATuple ActiveX control, aka "COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 y 6 no maneja adecuadamente objetos COM no inicializados, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) y posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección, como ha sido demostrado por la función Nth en el control ActiveX DirectAnimation.DATuple, también conocido como "Vulnerabilidad de Corrupción de Memoria en la Instanciación de Objetos COM".
