This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within how the application handles multiple javascript modifications to the document. In certain instances the application will free an object due to a modification and then later access it again when attempting to destroy it. This re-use can lead to code execution under the context of the application.
