Descriptions

Internet Explorer Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Vulnerabilidad de corrupciĆ³n de la memoria de Internet Explorer

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected 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 specific flaw exists within the handling of arrays in JavaScript. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
