Achat Unicode SEH Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a Unicode SEH buffer overflow in Achat. By sending a crafted message to the default port 9256/UDP, it's possible to overwrite the SEH handler. Even when the exploit is reliable, it depends on timing since there are two threads overflowing the stack in the same time. This module has been tested on Achat v0.150 running on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.

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.
