Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in Photodex ProShow Producer v5.0.3256 in the handling of the plugins load list file. An attacker must send the crafted "load" file to victim, who must store it in the installation directory. The vulnerability will be triggered the next time ProShow is opened. The module has been tested successfully on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1.

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.
