Description

This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in the way IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager versions 3.7.1, 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.3.1 handles long POST query arguments. This issue can be triggered by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the service (lcfd.exe) listening on TCP port 9495. To trigger this issue authorization is required. This exploit makes use of a second vulnerability, a hardcoded account (tivoli/boss) is used to bypass the authorization restriction.

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.
