Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in the Novell GroupWise Client gwcls1.dll ActiveX. Several methods in the GWCalServer control use user provided data as a pointer, which allows to read arbitrary memory and execute arbitrary code. This module has been tested successfully with GroupWise Client 2012 on IE6 - IE9. The JRE6 needs to be installed to achieve ASLR bypass.

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.
