Title: Microsoft JScript Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Microsoft JScript is a software component included in Microsoft Windows operation systems. It supports the ECMA 262 (ECMAScript Edition 3 or JavaScript) language.
Microsoft JScript is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability because it fails to properly execute certain HTML script content.
This issue is due to the premature releasing of script objects, which results in memory corruption.
This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of applications that use the JScript component to render attacker-supplied script code.
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook both use the affected component, allowing attackers to exploit this issue by sending HTML email or by coercing unsuspecting users to visit malicious websites.
