RealNetworks RealPlayer SMIL Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer 10 and 8. By creating a URL link to a malicious SMIL file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code. When using this module, be sure to set the URIPATH with an extension of '.smil'. This module has been tested with RealPlayer 10 build 6.0.12.883 and RealPlayer 8 build 6.0.9.584.

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.
