Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in Altap Salamander <= v2.5. By creating a malicious file and convincing a user to view the file with the Portable Executable Viewer plugin within a vulnerable version of Salamander, the PDB file string is copied onto the stack and the SEH can be overwritten.

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.
