Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in KingView the KingMess.exe application when handling log files, due to the insecure usage of
sprintf. This module uses a malformed .kvl file which must be opened by the victim
via the KingMess.exe application, through the 'Browse Log Files' option. The module
has been tested successfully on KingView 6.52 and KingView 6.53 Free Trial over
Windows XP SP3.
