Microsoft Internet Explorer CTSF3CandidateMessage Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected 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 the handling of CTSF3CandidateMessage objects in the MSCTF module. By manipulating a document’s elements, an attacker can cause a pointer to be reused after it has been freed.
