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

Description The issue is related to the incorrect handling of objects in memory, leading to a buffer overflow. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user by using specially crafted web content or a Microsoft Office document. If the current user has administrative rights, a successful exploitation could grant the attacker control over 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.
