Descriptions
Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0, 5.0, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted web site, aka "MSXML Information Disclosure Vulnerability."
Vulnerabilidad en Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0, 5.0 y 6.0, permite a atacantes remotos evadir el mecanismo de protección ASLR a través de una página web manipulada, también conocida como 'MSXML Information Disclosure Vulnerability.'
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to gain information about the layout of memory on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. 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 implementation of the XSLT function generate-id. The unique ID string it returns can be used to infer the address at which an XML Node object is stored in memory. An attacker can use this information in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the process.
