Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 9 through 11

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 can occur when Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory, potentially corrupting memory and enabling 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 an attacker complete control of the affected system, allowing them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.

Recommendations For Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 9 through 11, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
