This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before version 7.3.1. By sending an overly long RTSP response to a client, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code.

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