Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Orbit Downloader.
The vulnerability is due to Orbit converting a URL ascii string to unicode
in an insecure way with MultiByteToWideChar.
The vulnerability is exploited with a specially crafted metalink file that
should be opened with Orbit through the "File->Add Metalink..." option.
