Description

This module exploits a heap overflow in the Dell OpenManage Web Server (omws32.exe), versions 3.2-3.7.1. The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the handling of POST requests, where the application input is set to an overly long file name. This module will crash the web server, however it is likely exploitable under certain conditions.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
