Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 through 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-3144 and CVE-2013-3163.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 hasta 10 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de un sitio web malicioso, también conocido como "Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability", una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2013-3144 y CVE-2013-3163.

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 a CTreeNode being freed and used afterward. This freed object can be later accessed by the CTreePos::GetBranch routine. An attacker can possibly leverage this situation to execute code under the context of the user running the browser.
