This 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 specific flaw exists due to improper garbage collection when multiple “imports” are used on a “styleSheets” collection. Crafting a long chain of CSS imports in an HTML document results in a memory corruption eventually leading to code execution.
