CVE-2010-0806 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Peer Objects component (iepeers.dll) of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, and 7. The flaw occurs when Internet Explorer accesses an invalid pointer after an object has been deleted, resulting in memory corruption. A remote attacker can trigger the condition using specially crafted web content, including malicious HTML and script, causing the browser to dereference freed memory. The vulnerability was exploited in the wild in March 2010 and has also been referred to as an uninitialized memory corruption issue in public reporting.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'ms10_018_ie_behaviors.rb', which exploits a use-after-free vulnerability (CVE-2010-0806) in the DHTML behaviors functionality of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7. The exploit targets the 'iepeers.dll' component and is delivered via a malicious HTML/JavaScript page served by the Metasploit HTTP server. When a vulnerable Internet Explorer user visits the attacker's page, heap spraying and JavaScript techniques are used to trigger the vulnerability and execute arbitrary shellcode. The module supports multiple targets, including IE6 and IE7 on various Windows platforms (NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista). The payload is customizable and can be any Metasploit-compatible shellcode. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file, following standard Metasploit module conventions, and is operational for real-world exploitation of the targeted vulnerability.
