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

This particular exploit uses a stack-based return address that will
only work under optimal conditions.
