Description

Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Internet Explorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An error when calculating an offset based on uninitialised variables can be exploited to call into an arbitrary memory location.

2) An indexing error when removing a property from an HTML element can be exploited to remove a VARIANT from an array within uninitialised heap-based memory.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code via a specially crafted web page.


Solution
Apply patches.

What's the point of a post like this without any link to bulletin or patches?

Didn't this patch come in SP1 to IE9? Or was it in the monthly Microsoft goodies? Either way, it's in my system. Suffered a crash yesterday, but I figured it was my leaving the laptop in the car. Toshiba Sat. 655D w/ AMD 1.3 APU ( Dual ) 4G RAM Win 7 SP1 IE9 SP1. F8 at boot, sys. repair option; Cmd exe. option; change directory to C; " to Windows then tree command; cd\..; dir c; tree command; exit cmd. exe. restart. then booted into Windows several times, using the reverse diagnostic booting suggestions. This is so each boot follows hierarchically as far as user profiles go. I have four!!! Makes it hard to shake my system, since I only go on Internet with Admin permissions when updating system, or using the Secunia OSI.
