Loading vulnerability…
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 due to improper handling of SLayoutRun objects. When a crafted web page triggers access to a previously deleted SLayoutRun object, it can result in memory corruption and allow remote code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (ms13_009_ie_slayoutrun_uaf.rb) that exploits a use-after-free vulnerability (CVE-2013-0025) in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP SP3. The module sets up an HTTP server that serves a malicious HTML page with embedded JavaScript. When a vulnerable browser visits the page, the JavaScript performs a heap spray and triggers the use-after-free condition, allowing arbitrary code execution. The payload is customizable and can be any Metasploit-compatible shellcode. The module includes logic to select the appropriate target based on the User-Agent string and supports JavaScript obfuscation. The main attack vector is browser-based, requiring the victim to visit the attacker's server. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the HTTP server set up by the module to deliver the exploit.
