MS10-018 Microsoft Internet Explorer Tabular Data Control ActiveX Memory Corruption
Description
This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the Internet Explorer Tabular Data ActiveX Control. Microsoft reports that version 5.01 and 6 of Internet Explorer are vulnerable. By specifying a long value as the "DataURL" parameter to this control, it is possible to write a NUL byte outside the bounds of an array. By targeting control flow data on the stack, an attacker can execute arbitrary code.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
