Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in the NTR ActiveX 1.1.8. The
vulnerability exists in the StopModule() method, where the lModule parameter is
used to dereference memory to get a function pointer, which leads to code execution
under the context of the user visiting a malicious web page.
