Description

This module exploits a heap based buffer overflow in the C1Tab ActiveX control, while handling the TabCaption property. The affected control can be found in the c1sizer.ocx component as included with IBM SPSS SamplePower 3.0. This module has been tested successfully on IE 6, 7 and 8 on Windows XP SP3 and IE 8 on Windows 7 SP1.

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/ibm_spss_c1sizer
msf exploit(ibm_spss_c1sizer) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(ibm_spss_c1sizer) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ibm_spss_c1sizer) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(ibm_spss_c1sizer) > 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.
