Description

Windows contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code. The issue is triggered when certain DHTML methods are used, leading to a race condition when one thread reads data from memory that has either been overwritten by another thread or has not yet been initialized by another thread. It is possible that the flaw may allow arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
