CVE-2019-1429 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the Internet Explorer scripting engine caused by improper handling of objects in memory. Available reporting places it in the legacy JScript bug class involving variables or arguments not being properly tracked by the garbage collector, leading to memory corruption and use-after-free conditions during script execution. It was described as a variant identified through analysis of CVE-2019-1367, and was released to address shortcomings in the earlier CVE-2019-1367 fix as well as a related variant involving callback handling. Successful exploitation occurs when Internet Explorer processes specially crafted script content, allowing attacker-controlled memory corruption within the browser process.
