Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 9, and 10 Consumer Preview, does not properly handle objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by attempting to access a nonexistent object, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, aka "Col Element Remote Code Execution Vulnerability," as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2012.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Internet Explorer remote code execution flaw. A malicious web page could trigger memory corruption and run attacker-controlled code in the user’s browser context. Business urgency is highest for environments still running legacy IE for compatibility workflows. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Windows estates, kiosk systems, thin clients, or business applications still dependent on Internet Explorer 6 through 9 or IE 10 Consumer Preview. Treat as a legacy-risk cleanup item with high impact if exposed. It should not usually outrank actively exploited modern vulnerabilities, but any remaining vulnerable IE use deserves rapid containment or retirement. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft’s MS12-037 Internet Explorer security update on affected systems.; Retire or disable legacy Internet Explorer where business processes allow.; Isolate systems that must retain legacy IE for compatibility reasons..
