Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers access to a deleted object, aka "Internet Explorer CDispNode Use After Free Vulnerability."
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 y 10 que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un sitio web modificado que desencadena el acceso a un objeto eliminado, también conocido como "Internet Explorer CDispNode Use After Free Vulnerability."
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 issue is due to the way Internet Explorer handles SVG objects. A use-after-free condition can be created when an SVG references a self-referent SVG. By abusing this behavior an attacker can ensure this memory is under control and leverage the situation to achieve remote code execution under the context of the user running the browser.
