Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is a web browser application that is capable of rendering both static and dynamic web content. The application is primarily used for tasks related to web browsing, such as displaying HTML encoded pages, downloading files, etc. A memory corruption vulnerability exists in Microsoft Internet Explorer. The vulnerability is due to the way Internet Explorer handles switching of page location. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by persuading target users to visit a specially crafted web page. Successful exploitation may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable client system, in the context of the logged in user. In case of an attack where code injection and execution is successful, the behavior of the target will depend on the intended purpose of the injected code. Any code injected will run within the security context of the currently logged in user. In case of an attack where code injection is not successful, Internet Explorer may terminate abnormally.
