This signature detects an attempt to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft Internet Explorer. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary codes into the context of the running operating system.
Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers access to a deleted object, as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2013, aka "Internet Explorer Use After Free Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-1308 and CVE-2013-1309.
