Description

This module exploits an integer overflow flaw in the Microsoft Windows Embedded OpenType font parsing code located in win32k.sys. Since the kernel itself parses embedded web fonts, it is possible to trigger a BSoD from a normal web page when viewed with Internet Explorer.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
