CVE-2009-0075 is a vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 where the browser does not properly handle errors when accessing deleted objects. This flaw is related to the mishandling of CFunctionPointer and the appending of document objects, leading to the use of uninitialized memory. An attacker can exploit this by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML document, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'ms09_002_memory_corruption.rb', which exploits a memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2009-0075) in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP SP2/SP3 and Windows Vista SP0. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the module's built-in HTTP server. When a victim visits the page using a vulnerable version of Internet Explorer, obfuscated JavaScript triggers the vulnerability, allowing arbitrary code execution with the user's privileges. The payload is customizable and can be any Metasploit-compatible shellcode. The module is operational and not just a proof of concept, as it delivers a working payload. The code is written in Ruby (for the Metasploit framework) and generates JavaScript for the client-side exploit. No hardcoded IPs, domains, or file paths are present; the main fingerprintable endpoint is the HTTP server delivering the exploit page.
