This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of 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 selectAll/RemoveFormat command. The execution of these commands can lead to a use-after-free condition. An attacker can leverage this situation to execute code under the context of the user running the browser.
