Microsoft Internet Explorer VML Remote Buffer Overflow (Windows XP SP0-SP1 + Windows 2000 SP4)

This exploit is a stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer VML. It uses heap spraying technique to injection shellcode in the heap. It is tested on Windows XP SP1 + IE6 SP1, Windows XP SP0 + IE6, Windows 2000 SP4 + IE6 SP1, and Windows 2000 SP4 + IE6. It is not successful on Windows XP SP2 due to buffer overflow protection.

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of Internet Explorer.

#
# I exploit the stack-based buffer overflow in the different manner because of 
# the problem of shellcode. I use heap spraying technique to injection my 
# shellcode in the heap. Because I can control EIP so I tell it to jump into 
# the heap that contains shellcode ^-^
#
# This exploit tested on: Windows XP SP1 + IE6 SP1 
# 			  Windows XP SP0 + IE6
#			  Windows 2000 SP4 + IE6 SP1
#			  Windows 2000 SP4 + IE6
#
# I will describe more implementation details at my blog in this weekend :)
#
# P.S. Because of the buffer overflow protection mechanism in Windows XP SP2,
# This exploit is not success. The situation that overwrite to the location 
# that eax point to is not occured, so I cannot use my techqniue 
# "The Fake Cookie" that I use to break buffer overflow protection in 
# Windows Server 2003 SP0 to bypass it. If anybody can break this protection 
# with some techniques, plz share information :)
