Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in version 2.1 of IcoFX. The vulnerability exists while parsing .ICO files, where a specially crafted ICONDIR header providing an arbitrary long number of images in the file can be used to trigger the overflow when reading the ICONDIRENTRY structures.

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.
