Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Boxoft WAV to MP3 Converter versions 1.0 and 1.1. By constructing a specially crafted WAV file and attempting to convert it to an MP3 file in the application, a buffer is overwritten, which allows for running shellcode.

Module Options

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/fileformat/boxoft_wav_to_mp3
msf exploit(boxoft_wav_to_mp3) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(boxoft_wav_to_mp3) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(boxoft_wav_to_mp3) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(boxoft_wav_to_mp3) > 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.
