Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014.
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en Microsoft Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de memoria en Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 hasta la versión 11 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario y eludir un mecanismo de protección sandbox a través de vectores no especificados, según lo demostrado por VUPEN durante una competición Pwn2Own en CanSecWest 2014.
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 CSS stylesheets. The issue lies in the failure to properly clone the properties within a stylesheet that is referenced multiple times. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
VUPEN Vulnerability Research Team discovered a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The vulnerability is caused by a use-after-free vulnerability when manipulating CSS @import statements through "addImport()" or "removeImport()", which could be exploited by attackers to leak arbitrary memory or execute arbitrary code via a malicious web page. Versions 9, 10, and 11 are affected.
