RealPlayer RealMedia File Handling Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow on RealPlayer <=15.0.6.14. The vulnerability exists in the handling of real media files, due to the insecure usage of the GetPrivateProfileString function to retrieve the URL property from an InternetShortcut section. This module generates a malicious rm file which must be opened with RealPlayer via drag and drop or double click methods. It has been tested successfully on Windows XP SP3 with RealPlayer 15.0.5.109.

- 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.
