Orbital Viewer ORB File Parsing Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in David Manthey's Orbital Viewer. When processing .ORB files, data is read from file into a fixed-size stack buffer using the fscanf function. Since no bounds checking is done, a buffer overflow can occur. Attackers can execute arbitrary code by convincing their victim to open an ORB file.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
