Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 through 11 and Edge allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted web page, aka "Microsoft Browser Information Disclosure Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-3327.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 hasta la versión 11 y Edge permiten a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible a través de una página web manipulada, también conocida como "Microsoft Browser Information Disclosure Vulnerability", una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-3327.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Edge. 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 Microsoft Edge constructs Referer headers in HTTP requests. By manipulating a document's elements an attacker can force a string in memory to be reused after it has been freed. As a result, unintended information will be included in the Referer header. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code under the context of the current process.
