Novell Messenger Server 2.0 Accept-Language Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Novell GroupWise Messenger Server v2.0. This flaw is triggered by any HTTP request with an Accept-Language header greater than 16 bytes. To overwrite the return address on the stack, we must first pass a memcpy() operation that uses pointers we supply. Due to the large list of restricted characters and the limitations of the current encoder modules, very few payloads are usable.

- 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.
