Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and SP2, 7, and 8 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, related to the CStyleSheet object and a free of the root container, aka "Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer versión 6 SP1 y SP2, versión 7 y 8, permiten a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario al acceder a un objeto que (1) no se inicializó de manera apropiada (2) se elimina, lo que conlleva a la corrupción de la memoria, relacionada con el objeto CStyleSheet y un contenedor libre de tipo root, que se conoce como "Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required in that a target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists within IE's support for the CStyleSheet object. When a style sheet array is created it contains a reference to it's root container. If the stylesheet was created as part of an element not in a markup the root container can be freed when that element is destroyed. When the application attempts to use the stylesheet after this, an invalid pointer is utilized. This can be leveraged by attackers to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the browser.
