Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft VBScript versions 5.6 through 5.8

Description A remote code execution issue exists in the way the VBScript engine handles objects in memory when rendered in Internet Explorer. This issue may corrupt memory, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
