Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 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-2014-1775, CVE-2014-1779, CVE-2014-1799, CVE-2014-1803, and CVE-2014-2757.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 hasta 11 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de un sitio web manipulado, también conocido como 'Vulnerabilidad de Corrupción de Memoria de Internet Explorer,' una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2014-1775, CVE-2014-1779, CVE-2014-1799, CVE-2014-1803 y CVE-2014-2757.

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 CInput objects. By manipulating a document's elements an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
