Microsoft Internet Explorer COM Object Instantiation Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that is exposed when certain COM objects are instantiated as ActiveX controls. A malicious webpage could pass content to these objects to trigger memory corruption.

Successful exploits could let remote attackers execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user.
