Description

This module exploits a stack based overflow vulnerability in the handling of the DXF files by Microsoft Visio 2002. Revisions prior to the release of the MS bulletin MS10-028 are vulnerable. The overflow occurs when the application is used to import a specially crafted DXF file, while parsing the HEADER section of the DXF file. To trigger the vulnerability an attacker must convince someone to insert a specially crafted DXF file to a new document, go to 'Insert' -> 'CAD Drawing'

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.
