Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Internet Explorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information or compromise a user's system.

1) The application incorrectly interprets the origin of scripts, which can be exploited to gain access to a browser windows in another domain or Internet Explorer zone.

Successful exploitation requires certain user interaction with the browser window.

2) A use-after-free error in the "OnPropertyChange_Src()" function can be exploited to corrupt memory.

3) A use-after-free error when processing the "boundElements" property can be exploited to corrupt memory.

This vulnerability affects Internet Explorer 6 only.

4) A race condition error when processing "CIframeElement" objects can be exploited to corrupt memory.

5) A use-after-free error in the handling of table elements can be exploited to corrupt memory.

6) Another error when attempting to access uninitialised or deleted objects can be exploited to corrupt memory.

This vulnerability affects Internet Explorer 8 only.

Vulnerabilities #2 through #6 may allow execution of arbitrary code e.g. when a user views a specially crafted web page.
