Description

This module exploits a use-after-free vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The
vulnerability occurs when an invalid tag exists and other elements
overlap/cover where the object tag should be when rendered (due to their
styles/positioning). The mshtml!CObjectElement is then freed from memory because
it is invalid. However, the mshtml!CDisplay object for the page continues to keep
a reference to the freed and attempts to call a function on it, leading
to the use-after-free.

Please note that for IE 8 targets, JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is required
to bypass DEP (Data Execution Prevention).
