WinVNC Web Server GET Overflow
Description
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the AT&T WinVNC version <= v3.3.3r7 web server. When debugging mode with logging is enabled (non-default), an overly long GET request can overwrite the stack. This exploit does not work well with VNC payloads!

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
