Posted Jun 13, 2007
Authored by Tipping Point | Site zerodayinitiative.com

A vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page. The flaw is specifically exposed when a prototype variable points to a table cell and then that table cell is removed. This results in an invalid pointer dereference which can be leveraged to result in arbitrary code execution.
