A memory corruption vulnerability in Scriptscan COM Object in McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 Patch 8 and earlier allows remote attackers to create a Denial of Service on the active Internet Explorer tab via a crafted HTML link.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
