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

1) A use-after-free error when handling the Scroll event can be
exploited to dereference an already freed object.

2) An error within OLEAuto32.dll when accessing an uninitialised
object can be exploited to corrupt memory.

3) A use-after-free error when handling the Option element can be
exploited to dereference an already freed object.

NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect Internet Explorer 9.

4) A use-after-free error when handling the OnLoad event can be
exploited to dereference an already freed object.

NOTE: This vulnerability only affects Internet Explorer 6.

5)  An error within Jscript9.dll when accessing an uninitialised
object can be exploited to corrupt memory.

NOTE: This vulnerability only affects Internet Explorer 9.

6) An error when handling the Select element when accessing an
uninitialised object can be exploited to corrupt memory.

NOTE: This vulnerability only affects Internet Explorer 8.

7) A use-after-free error when handling the Body element can be
