Description

This module exploits a heap based buffer overflow in the CrystalPrintControl ActiveX, while handling the ServerResourceVersion property. The affected control can be found in the PrintControl.dll component as included with Crystal Reports 2008. This module has been tested successfully on IE 6, 7 and 8 on Windows XP SP3 and IE 8 on Windows 7 SP1. The module uses the msvcr71.dll library, loaded by the affected ActiveX control, to bypass DEP and ASLR.

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.
