A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) handle objects in memory.

An attacker could craft a website that exploits the vulnerability and then convince a victim user to visit the website. The security update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how ActiveX Data Objects handle objects in memory.
