Descriptions

Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, aka "Microsoft Browser Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 y Microsoft Edge permiten a atacantes remotos ejecutar un código arbitrario o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de un sitio web manipulado, vulnerabilidad también conocida como "Microsoft Browser Memory Corruption Vulnerability".

Microsoft Edge has an information leak in JSON.parse. If this function is called with a reviver, and the reviver modifies the output object to contain a native array, the Walk function assumes that this array is a Var array, and writes pointers to it. These pointers can then be read out of the array by script.
