- -- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction
is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a
malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the way Internet Explorer handles
consecutive calls to insertRow. When the number of rows reaches a certain
threshold the program fails to correctly relocate certain key objects. This
can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability which can result in remote code
execution under the context of the current process.

- -- Vendor Response:
Microsoft has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details
