Descriptions

The JScript scripting engine 5.1, 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8 in JScript.dll in Microsoft Windows, as used in Internet Explorer, does not properly load decoded scripts into memory before execution, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers memory corruption, aka "JScript Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."

El motor de secuencias de comandos JScript v5.1, v5.6, v5.7, y v5.8 en JScript.dll en Microsoft Windows, utilizado en Internet Explorer, no carga apropiadamente dentro de memoria secuencias de comandos decodificada o anteriores a la ejecución, lo que permite a los atacantes remoto ejecutar arbitrariamente código a través de una página web manipulada que lanza una corrupción de memoria, también conocido como "Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código JScript".

This vulnerability allows remote 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 when parsing the jscript keyword "arguments". Because the arguments object is not available until a certain time, invoking it can result in memory corruption. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a remote system compromise under the credentials of the current user.
