Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in IBM Lotus Domino iCalendar. By sending a long string of data as the "ORGANIZER;mailto" header, process "nRouter.exe" crashes due to a Cstrcpy() routine in nnotes.dll, which allows remote attackers to gain arbitrary code execution. Note: In order to trigger the vulnerable code path, a valid Domino mailbox account is needed.

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/lotus/domino_icalendar_organizer
msf exploit(domino_icalendar_organizer) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(domino_icalendar_organizer) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(domino_icalendar_organizer) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(domino_icalendar_organizer) > 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.
