Microsoft Plug and Play Service Registry Overflow
Description
This module triggers a stack buffer overflow in the Windows Plug and Play service. This vulnerability can be exploited on Windows 2000 without a valid user account. Since the PnP service runs inside the service.exe process, this module will result in a forced reboot on Windows 2000. Obtaining code execution is possible if user-controlled memory can be placed at 0x00000030, 0x0030005C, or 0x005C005C.

- 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.
