Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. |

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Synopsis
A specially crafted web-page can cause Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 to continue to use an object after freeing the memory used to store the object. An attacker might be able to exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code.
Known affected software and attack vectors
Microsoft Internet Explorer 10
An attacker would need to get a target user to open a specially crafted web-page. Disabling Javascript should prevent an attacker from triggering the vulnerable code path.

Description
The last line of script (designMode = "off") will cause some cleanup in MSIE, which appears to trigger use of a stale pointer in CEditAdorner::Detach. I did not investigate further.
