Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in MPlayer Lite r33064, caused by improper bounds checking of an URL entry. By persuading the victim to open a specially-crafted .M3U file, specifically by drag-and-dropping it to the player, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the system.

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.
