Microsoft » Internet Explorer » 7 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2008 (Memory corruption)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the CRecordInstance::TransferToDestination function in mshtml.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, 6 SP1, and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DSO bindings involving (1) an XML Island, (2) XML DSOs, or (3) Tabular Data Control (TDC) in a crafted HTML or XML document, as demonstrated by nested SPAN or MARQUEE elements, and exploited in the wild in December 2008.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4, 6 SP1 on Windows 2000, and 6 on Windows XP and Server 2003 does not properly handle extraneous data associated with an object embedded in a web page, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTML tags that trigger memory corruption, aka "HTML Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 sometimes attempts to access a deleted object, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document that triggers memory corruption, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 sometimes attempts to access uninitialized memory locations, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document that triggers memory corruption, related to a WebDAV request for a file with a long name, aka "HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 and 6 SP1 does not properly validate parameters during calls to navigation methods, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document that triggers memory corruption, aka "Parameter Validation Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Excel 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, and 2003 SP2 and SP3 does not properly validate data in the VBA Performance Cache when processing an Office document with an embedded object, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file containing a crafted value, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, integer overflows, array index errors, and memory corruption, aka "Calendar Object Validation Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4 and 6 does not properly handle errors associated with access to uninitialized memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, aka "HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 accesses uninitialized memory in certain conditions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via vectors related to a document object "appended in a specific order" with "particular functions ... performed on" document objects, aka "HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability" or "Table Layout Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2257.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 accesses uninitialized memory in certain conditions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via vectors related to a document object "appended in a specific order," aka "HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability" or "XHTML Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2258.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 does not properly handle objects that have been incorrectly initialized or deleted, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 accesses uninitialized memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2254, aka "HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 accesses uninitialized memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, aka "HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Heap-based buffer overflow in the substringData method in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to an unspecified manipulation of a DOM object before a call to this method, aka the "HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1, 6 SP2, and and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by assigning malformed values to certain properties, as demonstrated using the by property of an animateMotion SVG element, aka "Property Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
