Insight
Insight
Multiple flaws are due to: - The 'tdc.ocx' ActiveX control being built with vulnerable Active Template Library (ATL) headers, which could allow the instantiation of arbitrary objects that can bypass certain security related policies. - Memory corruption error occurs when the browser attempts to access an object that has not been initialized or has been deleted, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted web page. - Memory corruption occurs when processing 'CSS' objects. - Race condition occurs while repetitively clicking between two elements at a fast rate, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted web page. - A dangling pointer during deallocation of a circular dereference for a CAttrArray object, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted web page.
