Description
A remote code execution issue exists due to the way Internet Explorer accesses an object that has not been correctly initialized or has been deleted. An attacker could exploit this by constructing a specially crafted web page. When a user views the web page, it could allow remote code execution, potentially giving the attacker the same user rights as the logged-on user. If the user has administrative rights, the attacker could take complete control of the system, allowing them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.
