  DESCRIPTION

This security update addresses vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer that could allow remote code execution. The exploit works when a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer or opens a legitimate HTML file that loads a specially crafted library file. Once successful, an attacker could gain the same user rights as the local user. More specifically, it addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way Internet Explorer handles objects in memory and Cascading Style Sheets, as well as the way it loads external libraries.
