Description

This module exploits a simple stack buffer overflow in the Sentinel License Manager. The SentinelLM service is installed with a wide selection of products and seems particular popular with academic products. If the wrong target value is selected, the service will crash and not restart.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/windows/license/sentinel_lm7_udp
msf exploit(sentinel_lm7_udp) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(sentinel_lm7_udp) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(sentinel_lm7_udp) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(sentinel_lm7_udp) > exploit

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.
