Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in MediaCoder 0.8.22. The vulnerability occurs when adding an .m3u, allowing arbitrary code execution under the context of the user. DEP bypass via ROP is supported on Windows 7, since the MediaCoder runs with DEP. This module has been tested successfully on MediaCoder 0.8.21.5539 to 0.8.22.5530 over Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP0.

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.
