NTR ActiveX Control Check() Method Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability found in NTR ActiveX 1.1.8. The vulnerability exists in the Check() method, due to the insecure usage of strcat to build a URL using the bstrParams parameter contents (note: this is also the reason why the module won't allow you to modify the URIPATH), which leads to code execution under the context of the user visiting a malicious web page. In order to bypass DEP and ASLR on Windows Vista and Windows 7 JRE 6 is needed.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
