Alt-N SecurityGateway username Buffer Overflow
Description
Alt-N SecurityGateway is prone to a buffer overflow condition. This is due to insufficient bounds checking on the "username" parameter. Successful exploitation could result in code execution with SYSTEM level privileges. NOTE: This service doesn't restart, you'll only get one shot. However, it often survives a successful exploitation attempt.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
