Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is the most widely used web browser application. The browser is capable of processing HTML, scripting languages, and interpretation of various other popular Internet specifications. There are numerous versions of the HTML standard that are interpreted by the browser. A memory corruption vulnerability exists in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The vulnerability is due to the way Internet Explorer handles uninitialized or removed objects. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by persuading target users to visit a specially crafted web page. Successful exploitation may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable client system, in the context of the logged in user. An attack targeting this vulnerability can result in the injection and execution of arbitrary code. In case of an attack where code execution is successful, the behavior of the target will depend on the intention of the attacker. Any injected code will be executed within the security context of the currently logged in user. In case of an attack where code execution is unsuccessful, Internet Explorer may terminate abnormally.
