Descriptions
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 does not properly handle objects that have been incorrectly initialized or deleted, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6 y 7 no gestiona correctamente objetos que han sido inicializados o borrados incorrectamente, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y ejecutar código de su elección mediante vectores desconocidos, también conocido como "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability (Vulnerabilidad de Corrupción de Memoria No Inicializada)".
