SMTP: Microsoft Internet Explorer Dereferenced Object Access

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer. It exists in the way that Internet Explorer accesses an object that has not been correctly initialized or has been deleted. An attacker can exploit this by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability can allow remote code execution.

Extended Description

Use-after-free vulnerability in the CAttrArray::PrivateFind function in mshtml.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by setting an unspecified property of a stylesheet object, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
