Description

This module exploits a data segment buffer overflow within Winds3D Viewer of AwingSoft Awakening 3.x (WindsPly.ocx v3.6.0.0). This ActiveX is a plugin of AwingSoft Web3D Player. By setting an overly long value to the 'SceneURL' property, an attacker can overrun a buffer and execute arbitrary code.

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/windows/browser/awingsoft_web3d_bof
msf exploit(awingsoft_web3d_bof) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(awingsoft_web3d_bof) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(awingsoft_web3d_bof) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(awingsoft_web3d_bof) > 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.
