GetGo Download Manager HTTP Response Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in GetGo Download Manager version 5.3.0.2712 earlier, caused by an overly long HTTP response header. By persuading the victim to download a file from a malicious server, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash. This module has been tested successfully on Windows XP SP3.

- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
