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 vulnerability exists due to improper parsing of HTML CSS ‘float’ properties. By ordering specially crafted ‘div’ tags in a web page, memory corruption can occur leading to remote code execution.
