Description A remote code execution issue exists due to the way Microsoft browsers access objects in memory. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user by corrupting memory. If the current user has administrative rights, the attacker could take control of the affected system, enabling them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.
Recommendations For Internet Explorer 11, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Edge, apply the necessary security updates to resolve the vulnerability. For Internet Explorer 10, ensure all security patches are applied to mitigate the risk.
