Csound hetro File Handling Stack Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a buffer overflow in Csound before 5.16.6. The overflow occurs when trying to import a malicious hetro file from tabular format. In order to achieve exploitation the user should import the malicious file through csound with a command like "csound -U het_import msf.csd file.het". This exploit doesn't work if the "het_import" command is used directly to convert the file.

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.
