Descriptions
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing an object that (1) was not properly initialized or (2) is deleted, leading to memory corruption, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-3671, CVE-2009-3674, and CVE-2010-0245.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 no maneja de manera apropiada los objetos en memoria lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección accediendo a un objeto que (1) no fue correctamente iniciado o (2) es borrado, lo que conduce a una corrupción de memoria, también conocida como "Vulnerabilidad de Corrupción de Memoria no Iniciada", una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2009-3671, CVE-2009-3674, and CVE-2010-0245.
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 an attacker must coerce a victim to visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists due to the application rendering intertwined strike and center tags containing an element that manipulates the font baseline such as 'sub' or 'sup'. When this element pointer is removed the application will later dereference it even though it has been freed. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution under the context of the currently logged in user.
