Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Netcat v1.10 NT. By sending an overly long string we are able to overwrite SEH. The vulnerability exists when netcat is used to bind (-e) an executable to a port in doexec.c. This module tested successfully using "c:\>nc -L -p 31337 -e ftp".

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.
