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 DLL loading by the Internet Explorer broker process, which can be induced to load a library in its context from a directory controlled by the low-integrity process. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the user at medium integrity.
