Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 through 11

Description The issue is related to the bypass of the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) protection mechanism. This can be achieved via a crafted web site, allowing a remote attacker to more reliably predict memory offsets. The ASLR bypass by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution but could be used in conjunction with another vulnerability to run arbitrary code on a target system.

Recommendations For Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 through 11, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
