MacOS X EvoCam HTTP GET Buffer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the web server provided with the EvoCam program for Mac OS X. We use Dino Dai Zovi's exec-from-heap technique to copy the payload from the non-executable stack segment to heap memory. Vulnerable versions include 3.6.6, 3.6.7, and possibly earlier versions as well. EvoCam version 3.6.8 fixes the vulnerability.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/osx/http/evocam_webserver
msf exploit(evocam_webserver) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(evocam_webserver) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(evocam_webserver) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(evocam_webserver) > 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.
