HTTP: Microsoft Internet Explorer HTML Rendering Memory Corruption

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer. It is due to the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object that has been deleted. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a target user to open a maliciously crafted HTML document. In a successful code injection attack, the behavior of the target host is entirely dependent on the intended function of the injected code and executes within the security context of the currently logged in user. In an unsuccessful attack, the application can terminate abnormally.

Extended Description

Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Successful exploits will compromise the application and possibly the computer. Failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions.
