Synopsis
A specially crafted web-page can cause Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 to continue to use an object after freeing the memory used to store the object. An attacker might be able to exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
Known affected software and attack vectors
Microsoft Internet Explorer 10
An attacker would need to get a target user to open a specially crafted web-page. Disabling Javascript should prevent an attacker from triggering the vulnerable code path.

Description
