certain values assigned to the "tags" property. This can be exploited
to corrupt heap memory by e.g. tricking a user into visiting a
malicious website.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 7100.1.400.8. Other versions
may also be affected.
