This is caused by improper access to objects in memory, potentially leading to memory corruption 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 control over the affected system, allowing them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.
