Microsoft · Internet Explorer · CVE-2009-0075
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7
**Description**
The issue arises from the improper handling of errors when accessing deleted objects, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document. This is related to the appending of document objects. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way the software accesses an object that has been deleted. An attacker could exploit this by constructing a specially crafted Web page, potentially allowing remote code execution and granting the attacker the same user rights as the logged-on user.
**Recommendations**
For Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7, consider restricting access to specially crafted Web pages until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid viewing untrusted Web pages to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
