Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Internet Explorer versions 8 through 11

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service due to memory corruption via a crafted web site. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the JScript and VBScript engines render when handling objects in memory in Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited the issue could gain the same user rights as the current user, potentially taking control of an affected system if the current user has administrative user rights.

Recommendations For Internet Explorer versions 8 through 11, update to a version that includes the fix for the scripting engine memory corruption issue to prevent remote code execution and denial of service attacks.
