Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Subtitle Processor 7. By supplying a long string of data as a .m3u file, Subtitle Processor first converts this input in Unicode, which expands the string size, and then attempts to copy it inline on the stack. This results a buffer overflow with SEH overwritten, allowing arbitrary code execution.

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.
