MS15-124: VULNERABILITY IN INTERNET EXPLORER COULD LEAD TO ASLR BYPASS: DECEMBER
16, 2015

Internet Explorer 11 Internet Explorer 10 Internet Explorer 9 More...Less


SUMMARY

A security feature bypass for Internet Explorer exists as a result of how
exceptions are handled when dispatching certain window messages, allowing an
attacker to probe the layout of the address space and thereby bypassing Address
Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). By itself, the ASLR bypass does not allow
arbitrary code execution. However, an attacker could use this ASLR bypass in
conjunction with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution
vulnerability, to run arbitrary code on a target system. Successful exploitation
of the ASLR bypass requires a user to be logged on and running an affected
version of Internet Explorer. The user would then need to browse to a malicious
site.



To learn more about this issue, see Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-124.







HOW TO GET AND INSTALL THE UPDATE

To have us fix this problem for you, go to the "Here's an easy fix" section.

change to take effect.
