Descriptions

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," a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0102, CVE-2016-0103, CVE-2016-0108, CVE-2016-0109, and CVE-2016-0114.

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", una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-0102, CVE-2016-0103, CVE-2016-0108, CVE-2016-0109 y CVE-2016-0114.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose the contents of memory 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 custom data attributes attached to HTML elements. By manipulating a document's elements an attacker can force a string in memory to be reused after it has been freed, leading to a disclosure of memory contents. An attacker can use this information in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
