ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:41193Date: (C)2017-07-12   (M)2024-03-06
Class: VULNERABILITYFamily: windows




A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Scripting Engine renders when handling objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker could also embed an ActiveX control marked "safe for initialization" in an application or Microsoft Office document that hosts the scripting rendering engine. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites, and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. These websites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit the vulnerabilities.The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how the Scripting Engine handles objects in memory.
