Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability on the UploadControl
ActiveX. The vulnerability exists in the handling of the "Attachment_Times"
property, due to the insecure usage of the _swscanf. The affected ActiveX is
provided by the dwa85W.dll installed with the IBM Lotus iNotes ActiveX installer.

This module has been tested successfully on IE6-IE9 on Windows XP, Vista and 7,
using the dwa85W.dll 85.3.3.0 as installed with Lotus Domino 8.5.3.

In order to bypass ASLR the no aslr compatible module dwabho.dll is used. This one
is installed with the iNotes ActiveX.
