Description

This module exploits a format string vulnerability in the lg_sprintf function
as implemented in liblocal.dll on EMC Networker products. This module exploits the
vulnerability by using a specially crafted RPC call to the program number 0x5F3DD,
version 0x02, and procedure 0x06. This module has been tested successfully on EMC
Networker 7.6 SP3 on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 SP2 (DEP bypass).
