'Description'    => %q{
This module exploits a vulnerability found in Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE). When
rendering an HTML page, the CMshtmlEd object gets deleted in an unexpected manner,
but the same memory is reused again later in the CMshtmlEd::Exec() function, leading
to a use-after-free condition.  Please note that this vulnerability has
been exploited in the wild since Sep 14 2012, and there is currently no official
patch for it.
