Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in SPIDERLib.Loader ActiveX control (Spider90.ocx) 9.1.0.4353 installed by TestDirector (TD) for Hewlett-Packard Mercury Quality Center 9.0 before Patch 12.1, and 8.2 SP1 before Patch 32. By setting an overly long value to 'ProgColor', an attacker can overrun a buffer and execute arbitrary code.

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.
