Descriptions

Race condition in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing Internet Explorer to install multiple language packs in a way that triggers memory corruption, aka "Language Pack Installation Vulnerability."

Condición de carrera en Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, y 7 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección provocando que Internet Explorer instale múltiples paquetes de idioma en un modo que dispara una corrupción de memoria, también conocida como "Vulnerabilidad de Instalación de Paquetes de Idioma".

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists in routines responsible for the on-demand installation of Internet Explorer language packs. A race condition may occur when a web page contains several pieces of content written in a language not currently supported by any of the installed language packs. In some cases, this race condition results in exploitable memory corruption that can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code.
