Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-019 - Critical
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (969897)
Published: June 9, 2009
Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves seven privately reported vulnerabilities
and one publicly disclosed vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The more
severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a
user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. Users
whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system
could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user
rights.
This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 5.01 and
Important for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1, running on supported
editions of Microsoft Windows 2000; Critical for Internet Explorer 6,
Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 running on supported
editions of Windows XP and Windows Vista; and Moderate for Internet
Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 running on
supported editions of Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. For
more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected
Software, in this section.
The security update addresses these vulnerabilities by modifying the
way that Internet Explorer handles scripts and cached content and
initializes memory.

Vulnerability Information
Race Condition Cross-Domain Information Disclosure Vulnerability -
CVE-2007-3091
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Internet Explorer that
could allow script to gain access to the content in another browser
window in another domain or Internet Explorer zone. An attacker could
exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page
that could allow information disclosure if a user viewed the Web page.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could view
data from a Web page in another Internet Explorer domain
Cross-Domain Information Disclosure Vulnerability - CVE-2009-1140
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that Internet
Explorer caches data and incorrectly allows the cached content to be
called, potentially bypassing Internet Explorer domain restriction. An
attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially
crafted Web page that could allow information disclosure if a user
viewed the Web page. An attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could view content from the local computer or another
browser window in another domain or Internet Explorer zone.
DHTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2009-1141
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet
Explorer displays a Web page that contains certain unexpected method
calls to HTML objects. As a result, system memory may be corrupted in
such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code if a user
visited a specially crafted Web site. An attacker who successfully
exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the
logged-on user.
HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2009-1528
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet
Explorer accesses an object that has not been correctly initialized or
has been deleted. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by
constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web
page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user
rights as the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with
administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this
vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An
attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or
create new accounts with full user rights.
Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2009-1529
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet
Explorer accesses an object that has not been correctly initialized or
has been deleted. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by
constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web
page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user
rights as the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative
user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could
then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new
accounts with full user rights.
HTML Objects Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2009-1530
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet
Explorer accesses an object that has not been correctly initialized or
has been deleted. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by
constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web
page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user
rights as the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative
user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could
then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new
accounts with full user rights.
HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2009-1531
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet
Explorer accesses an object that has not been correctly initialized or
has been deleted. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by
constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web
page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user
rights as the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative
user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could
then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new
accounts with full user rights.
HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability - CVE-2009-1532
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet
Explorer accesses an object that has not been correctly initialized or
has been deleted. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by
constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web
page, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker
who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user
rights as the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative
user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could
then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new
accounts with full user rights.
