CVE-2010-0249 is a use-after-free memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, 7, and 8 on legacy Windows platforms including Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7. The flaw occurs when Internet Explorer accesses a pointer associated with an object that has already been deleted, reflecting improper handling of objects in memory and incorrectly initialized memory. By delivering crafted web content, an attacker can trigger invalid pointer dereference conditions and corrupt memory in a way that enables arbitrary code execution. The issue is also referred to as the HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability and was exploited in the wild during the Operation Aurora timeframe.
