WebEx UCF atucfobj.dll ActiveX NewObject Method Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in WebEx's WebexUCFObject ActiveX Control. If a long string is passed to the 'NewObject' method, a stack- based buffer overflow will occur when copying attacker-supplied data using the sprintf function. It is noteworthy that this vulnerability was discovered and reported by multiple independent researchers. To quote iDefense's advisory, "Before this issue was publicly reported, at least three independent security researchers had knowledge of this issue; thus, it is reasonable to believe that even more people were aware of this issue before disclosure." NOTE: Due to input restrictions, this exploit uses a heap-spray to get the payload into memory unmodified.

- 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.
