MS05-017 Microsoft Message Queueing Service Path Overflow

Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the RPC interface to the Microsoft Message Queueing service. The offset to the return address changes based on the length of the system hostname, so this must be provided via the 'HNAME' option. Much thanks to snort.org and Jean-Baptiste Marchand's excellent MSRPC website.

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.
