AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a use-after-free vulnerability in Internet Explorer's CSS recursive import handling (CVE-2010-3971) to achieve remote code execution. It leverages heap spraying and ROP techniques with .NET 2.0's mscorie.dll to bypass DEP and ASLR.
Description
Use-after-free vulnerability in the CSharedStyleSheet::Notify function in the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) parser in mshtml.dll, as used in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 8 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a self-referential @import rule in a stylesheet, aka "CSS Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
Exploits (5)
This Metasploit module exploits a use-after-free vulnerability in Internet Explorer's CSS recursive import handling (CVE-2010-3971) to achieve remote code execution. It leverages heap spraying and ROP techniques with .NET 2.0's mscorie.dll to bypass DEP and ASLR.
This exploit targets a vulnerability in Internet Explorer (CVE-2010-3971) using a heap spray technique to achieve remote code execution. It serves malicious HTML and CSS content via a TCP server to trigger the vulnerability and execute arbitrary shellcode (calc.exe in this case).
This exploit leverages a CSS import recursion vulnerability in Internet Explorer to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The recursive @import rules in the CSS file trigger a stack overflow, crashing the browser.
This repository contains a functional exploit PoC for CVE-2010-3971, targeting a vulnerability in Internet Explorer's mshtml.dll. The code hooks the CStyleSheet::Notify function to demonstrate exploitation, likely leading to remote code execution.
This Metasploit module exploits a use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer (CVE-2010-3971) by leveraging recursive CSS imports to corrupt memory, achieving arbitrary code execution via heap spraying and ROP chains targeting mscorie.dll to bypass DEP/ASLR.
