Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Isig.isigCtl.1 ActiveX installed with IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Software Distribution 4.1.1. The vulnerability is found in the "RunAndUploadFile" method where the "OtherFields" parameter with user controlled data is used to build a "Content-Disposition" header and attach contents in an insecure way which allows to overflow a buffer in the stack.

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_tivoli_pme_activex_bof
msf exploit(ibm_tivoli_pme_activex_bof) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(ibm_tivoli_pme_activex_bof) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ibm_tivoli_pme_activex_bof) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(ibm_tivoli_pme_activex_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.
