INTERNET EXPLORER BUG

By Donald Ingram (Deceased) posted 04-28-2014 04:51 PM

  

Microsoft is aware of limited, targeted attacks that attempt to exploit a vulnarability in Internet Explorer.

 

 

The vulnerability is a remote code execution vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated. The vulnerability may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer. An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website.

 

 

It gave limited information on the bug, but admitted "an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights."
