Descriptions
Microsoft Edge in Microsoft Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user when the JavaScript engine fails to render when handling objects in memory in Microsoft Edge, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability". This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2017-8596, CVE-2017-8610, CVE-2017-8618, CVE-2017-8619, CVE-2017-8595, CVE-2017-8601, CVE-2017-8603, CVE-2017-8604, CVE-2017-8605, CVE-2017-8606, CVE-2017-8607, CVE-2017-8608, and CVE-2017-8609.
Microsoft Edge en Microsoft Windows 10 Gold 1511, 1607 y 1703 y Windows Server 2016 permite que un atacante ejecute código arbitrario en el contexto del usuario actual cuando el motor JavaScript fracasa a la hora de representarse cuando gestiona objetos en Microsoft Edge. Esto también se conoce como "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability". El ID de este CVE es diferente de CVE-2017-8596, CVE-2017-8610, CVE-2017-8618, CVE-2017-8619, CVE-2017-8595, CVE-2017-8601, CVE-2017-8603, CVE-2017-8604, CVE-2017-8605, CVE-2017-8606, CVE-2017-8607, CVE-2017-8608 y CVE-2017-8609.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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 handling of the super keyword in JavaScript. By performing actions in script an attacker can trigger access to memory prior to initialization. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
