          This module exploits a use-after-free vulnerability found in Internet Explorer,
          specifically in how the browser handles the caret (text cursor) object. In IE's standards
          mode, the caret handling's vulnerable state can be triggered by first setting up an
          editable page with an input field, and then we can force the caret to update in an
          onbeforeeditfocus event by setting the body's innerHTML property. In this event handler,
          mshtml!CCaret::`vftable' can be freed using a document.write() function, however,
          mshtml!CCaret::UpdateScreenCaret remains unaware of this change, and still uses the
          same reference to the CCaret object. When the function tries to use this invalid reference
          to call a virtual function at offset 0x2c, it finally results a crash. Precise control of
          the freed object allows arbitrary code execution under the context of the user.
