NFR Agent Heap Overflow Vulnerability
Description
This module exploits a heap overflow in NFRAgent.exe, a component of Novell File Reporter (NFR). The vulnerability occurs when handling requests of name "SRS", where NFRAgent.exe fails to generate a response in a secure way, copying user controlled data into a fixed-length buffer in the heap without bounds checking. This module has been tested against NFR Agent 1.0.4.3 (File Reporter 1.0.2).

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
