Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is caused by 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 memory in a way that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user has administrative user rights, a successful exploitation could grant the attacker complete control of the affected system, enabling them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
