FlexNet License Server Manager lmgrd Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability in the FlexNet License Server Manager. The vulnerability is due to the insecure usage of memcpy in the lmgrd service when handling network packets, which results in a stack buffer overflow. In order to improve reliability, this module will make lots of connections to lmgrd during each attempt to maximize its success.

- 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.
