Description

This module exploits an input validation error in libmod_plugin as
included with VideoLAN VLC 1.1.8. All versions prior to version 1.1.9
are affected. By creating a malicious S3M file, a remote attacker
could execute arbitrary code.

Although other products that bundle libmodplug may be vulnerable, this
module was only tested against VLC.

NOTE: As of July 1st, 2010, VLC now calls SetProcessDEPPoly to
permanently enable NX support on machines that support it. As such,
this module is capable of bypassing DEP, but not ASLR.
