Heap-based buffer overflow in the substringData method in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to an unspecified manipulation of a DOM object before a call to this method, aka the "HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
