Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 9 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an attempted access to a virtual function table after corruption of this table has occurred, aka "Virtual Function Table Corruption Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer v6 a v9 no trata correctamente los objetos en la memoria, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de un intento de acceso a una tabla de una función virtual después de que la corrupción de esta tabla se haya producido. También conocida como "vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código por corrupción de la Tabla de Función Virtual".

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 or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within mshtml.dll and is a logic bug in the way it handles the 'extra size index' in certain CDispNode classes within the SetExpandedClipRect function. When the 'extra size index' is zero, the code fails to correctly adjust the class instance pointer before and uses the vftable pointer as a flag field. This corrupts the vftable pointer and can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current user. This issue is closely related to CVE-2009-3672.
