This module exploits a buffer overflow in the VideoPlayer.ocx ActiveX installed with the X360 Software. By setting an overly long value to 'ConvertFile()', an attacker can overrun a .data buffer to bypass ASLR/DEP and finally execute arbitrary code.

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.
