CVE-2009-1529 is an uninitialized memory corruption vulnerability affecting Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on various Windows operating systems, including XP, Server 2003, Vista, and Server 2008. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.1) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted webpage that calls the setCapture method on a collection of objects.
