A specially crafted MMS URI is\n          used to trigger the overflow and get flow control through SEH overwrite. Control\n          is transferred to code located in the heap through a standard heap spray.\n\n          The module only targets IE6 and IE7 because no DEP/ASLR bypass has been provided.",
