Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers access to a deleted object, aka "Internet Explorer CCaret Use After Free Vulnerability."

Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 a la 10, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un sitio web diseñado que desencadena el acceso a un objeto eliminado, también conocido como "Internet Explorer CCaret, vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación".

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 with the handling of DOM manipulations on an embedded child of an <abbr> tag. The process can be made to delete an object resulting in a dangling pointer. The process can be later forced to reuse this pointer resulting in a use-after-free condition. An attacker can leverage this situation to execute code under the context of the user running the browser.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 suffers from an IEFRAME CView::EnsureSize use-after-free vulnerability.
