Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Green Dam Youth Escort
version 3.17 in the way it handles overly long URLs.
By setting an overly long URL, an attacker can overrun a buffer and execute
arbitrary code. This module uses the .NET DLL memory technique by Alexander
Sotirov and Mark Dowd and should bypass DEP, NX and ASLR.
