Description The issue is related to a remote code execution problem in the way the scripting engine handles objects in memory. This could allow an attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user by using a specially crafted web page. If the current user has administrative rights, a successful exploitation could give 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.
