Description: Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Internet Explorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. 1) An unspecified error may result in uninitialised memory being accessed in certain situations. 2) Another unspecified error may result in uninitialised memory being accessed in certain situations. 3) An error exists in the way Internet Explorer may access an object that has not been correctly initialised or has been deleted. This can be exploited to corrupt memory. 4) Two errors in the handling of document objects can result in uninitialised memory being accessed in certain situations when objects are appended in specific order, or objects are appended in specific order and certain functions are performed on these objects. 5) An error in the way arguments are validated in print preview handling can be exploited to corrupt memory. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
