Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 8 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-2015-0045.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 hasta 8 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 la corrupción de memoria de Internet Explorer,' una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-0045.

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 vulnerability relates to how Internet Explorer handles certain properties of DOM objects. By performing certain actions in script an attacker can cause a property to have an invalid value. When Internet Explorer attempts to read back the property's value, Internet Explorer uses an uninitialized value in memory as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
