Internet Explorer CSS Tags Memory Corruption TThis module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability within Microsoft's HTML engine (mshtml). When parsing an HTML page containing a specially crafted CSS tag, memory corruption occurs that can lead arbitrary code execution. Since the address depends on the version of mshtml, some versions may not be exploitable due to program counter value, kernel space, or memory spraying techniques. ROP to bypass non-executable memory protections is unlikely. Reference: CVE-2010-3962

Thie module exploits a memory corruption vulenrability within Microsoft's  
HTML engine (mshtml). When parsing an HTML page containing a specially  
crafted CSS tag, memory corruption occurs that can lead arbitrary code  
execution.  
  
It seems like Microsoft code inadvertantly increments a vtable pointer to  
point to an unaligned address within the vtable's function pointers. This  
leads to the program counter being set to the address determined by the  
address "[vtable+0x30+1]". The particular address depends on the exact  
version of the mshtml library in use.  
  
Since the address depends on the version of mshtml, some versions may not  
be exploitable. Specifically, those ending up with a program counter value  
within another module, in kernel space, or just not able to be reached with  
various memory spraying techniques.  
  
Also, since the address is not controllable, it is unlikely to be possible  
to use ROP to bypass non-executable memory protections.
