This vulnerability allows remote 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 or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of CTreeNode objects. Specifically crafted DOM manipulations can be used to cause a use-after-free condition on the CTreeNode object. An attacker may be able to leverage this situation to execute code under the context of the user running the browser.
