Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers access to a deleted object, aka "Internet Explorer pasteHTML Use After Free Vulnerability."

Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 y 9 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 pasteHTML 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 flaw exists within the handling of TextRange objects. The issue lies in the usage of Range.moveToElementText and Range.collapse. By manipulating a TextRange object an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this to gain code execution in the context of the current user.
