Description

This module creates a malicious RTF file that when opened in
vulnerable versions of Microsoft Word will lead to code execution.
The flaw exists in how a olelink object can make a http(s) request,
and execute hta code in response.

This bug was originally seen being exploited in the wild starting
in Oct 2016. This module was created by reversing a public
malware sample.
