Description

This strike exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft Internet Explorer scripting engine. Specifically, an attacker can craft an HTML page containing a Javascript script in such a way that a call to 'jscript!JSONStringifyObject()' frees an object that is later going to be referred by 'jscript!PrepareInvoke()', resulting in a use-after-free condition. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing the target user to open a specially crafted web page. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution in the security context of the target user.
