Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in the CWindow object implementation in Microsoft Internet Explorer 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."
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de memoria en la implementación del objeto CWindow en Microsoft Internet Explorer 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 conocida como 'Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability'.
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 CWindow objects. By manipulating a document's elements an attacker can force a CWindow object in memory to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
