Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the AppleFileServer service on MacOS X. This vulnerability was originally reported by Atstake and was actually one of the few useful advisories ever published by that company. You only have one chance to exploit this bug. This particular exploit uses a stack-based return address that will only work under optimal conditions.

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.
