Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."

Desde la versión 7 a la versión 11 de Microsoft Internet Explorer se permite a atacantes remotos escalada de privilegios a través de sitios web manipulados, también conocida como 'Vulnerabilidad de Evaluación de Privilegios de Internet Explorer'.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer running in either Protected Mode or Enhanced Protected Mode. 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 EditWith function of the document broker. The document broker can be induced to use a file path from a registry key that is controlled by the low integrity process. This can be changed while the broker is attempting to use it, resulting in a race condition and the execution of arbitrary executables at medium integrity.
