CVE-2014-6332 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows OLE Automation implementation in OleAut32.dll. The flaw is triggered by improper handling of array size values during SAFEARRAY resizing operations, specifically in logic associated with SafeArrayRedim and the SafeArrayDimen function. A crafted web page can induce an array-redimensioning condition that causes incorrect processing of a size value, leading to memory corruption and arbitrary code execution. The issue affects multiple Windows client and server versions, and exploitation was commonly observed through Internet Explorer using VBScript-based exploit chains.
