Base vector

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 8 through 9

Description The issue is related to memory corruption, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted web site. This occurs when Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory, potentially corrupting it in a way that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the user has administrative rights, a successful exploitation could grant the attacker complete control over the affected system, enabling them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.

Recommendations For Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 8 and 9, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
