Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability found in ERS Viewer 2011
(version 11.04). The vulnerability exists in the module ermapper_u.dll where the
function ERM_convert_to_correct_webpath handles user provided data in an insecure
way. It results in arbitrary code execution under the context of the user viewing
a specially crafted .ers file. This module has been tested successfully with ERS
Viewer 2011 (version 11.04) on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1.
