Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Edge (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to insufficient access control in Microsoft Edge, allowing a remote attacker to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) protection mechanism using a specially crafted web site. This could enable an attacker to load additional malicious code in an attempt to exploit another vulnerability. The ASLR bypass itself does not allow arbitrary code execution but could be used in conjunction with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability, to run arbitrary code.

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