The Vector Markup Language (VML) implementation in vgx.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 8 does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by accessing an object that (1) was not properly initialized or (2) is deleted, aka VML Memory Corruption Vulnerability.
Weakness
The product uses or accesses a resource that has not been initialized.
