Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 does not properly handle objects in memory that (1) were not properly initialized or (2) are deleted, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a call to the getElementsByTagName method for the STYLE tag name, selection of the single element in the returned list, and a change to the outerHTML property of this element, related to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and mshtml.dll, aka "HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability." NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. NOTE: this issue was originally assigned CVE-2009-4054, but Microsoft assigned a duplicate identifier of CVE-2009-3672. CVE consumers should use this identifier instead of CVE-2009-4054.

Microsoft Internet Explorer versiones 6 y 7 no controlan apropiadamente los objetos en la memoria que (1) no se inicializaron apropiadamente o (2) se eliminan, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de vectores que implican una llamada al método getElementsByTagName para el nombre de etiqueta STYLE , selección del elemento único en la lista devuelta y un cambio a la propiedad outerHTML de este elemento, relacionados con Hojas de Estilos en Cascada (CSS) y mshtml.dll, también se conoce como "HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability" Nota: algunos de estos detalles se obtienen de información de terceros. Nota: A este problema le fue asignado originalmente el CVE-2009-4054, pero Microsoft asignó un identificador duplicado de CVE-2009-3672. Los consumidores de CVE deben usar este identificador en lugar de CVE-2009-4054.
