Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, due to how Microsoft browsers handle objects in memory, aka "Windows Shell Remote Code Execution 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.
