MS11-081 Microsoft Internet Explorer Option Element Use-After-Free
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer. A memory corruption may occur when the Option cache isn't updated properly, which allows other JavaScript methods to access a deleted Option element, and results in code execution under the context of the user.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
