Description

This module triggers a heap overflow in the LSA RPC service of the Samba daemon. This module uses the TALLOC chunk overwrite method (credit Ramon and Adriano), which only works with Samba versions 3.0.21-3.0.24. Additionally, this module will not work when the Samba "log level" parameter is higher than "2".

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.
