Title: | HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability (CVE-2009-3672) | ||

NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. NOTE: this issue was originally assigned CVE-2009-4054, but Microsoft assigned a duplicate identifier of CVE-2009-3672. CVE consumers should use this identifier instead of CVE-2009-4054. | ||
