Ultra Shareware Office Control ActiveX HttpUpload Buffer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Ultra Shareware's Office Control. When processing the 'HttpUpload' method, the arguments are concatenated together to form a command line to run a bundled version of cURL. If the command fails to run, a stack-based buffer overflow occurs when building the error message. This is due to the use of sprintf() without proper bounds checking. NOTE: Due to input restrictions, this exploit uses a heap-spray to get the payload into memory unmodified.

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.
