Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site, aka Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-1748.

Weakness

The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource’s state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. This can cause the product to perform invalid actions when the resource is in an unexpected state.
