Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Internet Explorer's
mshtml component. Due to the way IE handles objects in memory, it is
possible to cause a pointer in CTableRowCellsCollectionCacheItem::GetNext
to be used even after it gets freed, therefore allowing remote code
execution under the context of the user.

This particular vulnerability was also one of 2012's Pwn2Own
challenges, and was later explained by Peter Vreugdenhil with exploitation
details. Instead of Peter's method, this module uses heap spraying like
the 99% to store a specially crafted memory layout before re-using the
freed memory.
