A missing boundary check in the TLS Heartbeat extension in OpenSSL can be abused by remote attackers to read up to 64 kb of memory from the server.



This memory disclosure vulnerability can be used by remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive information from the affected server, including private keys and session cookies.



This update adds features to the module, like the ability to read 64 kb of data from vulnerable services, reporting the results in the Module Output window, and saving the memory dumps to disk. It also improves the compatibility with OpenSSL services and adds support for FTPS.

The IESetProtectedModeRegKeyOnly() function in the ieframe.dll library of Microsoft Internet Explorer calls the RegCreateKeyEx registry function when running with Medium Integrity Level over a registry key that is writable by a sandboxed IE instance.

This can be abused to overwrite IE's Elevation Policy by creating symbolic links in the Windows Registry in order to escape from the Internet Explorer Protected Mode sandbox.



This module allows an agent running in the context of iexplore.exe with Low Integrity Level/AppContainer Integrity Level to escalate privileges in order to install a new agent that will run with Medium Integrity Level.
