Eureka Email 2.2q ERR Remote Buffer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Eureka Email 2.2q client that is triggered through an excessively long ERR message. NOTE: this exploit isn't very reliable. Unfortunately reaching the vulnerable code can only be done when manually checking mail (Ctrl-M). Checking at startup will not reach the code targeted here.

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.
