Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Mercury/32 <= v4.01b PH Server Module. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed size memory buffer.

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.
