-- 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 be convinced of visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious
file.

The specific flaw exists within usage of a particular element that's
part of the Timed Interactive Multimedia Extensions component of the
browser. By removing an element referenced by a tag used for
implementing an animation, the application can be made to access an
element that has been previously freed. Successful exploitation can lead
to code execution under the context of the application.

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