Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the NetWare PKERNEL.NLM driver's CALLIT procedure. PKERNEL.NLM is installed by default on all NetWare servers to support NFS. The PKERNEL.NLM module runs in kernel mode so a failed exploit attempt can cause the operating system to reboot.

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.
