A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the VBScript engine handles objects in memory, aka Windows VBScript Engine Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This affects Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 11, Internet Explorer 10.
Weakness
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
