Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the Win32AddConnection
function of the VideoLAN VLC media player. Versions 0.9.9 through 1.0.1 are
reportedly affected.

This vulnerability is only present in Win32 builds of VLC.

This payload was found to work with the windows/exec and
windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp payloads. However, the
windows/meterpreter/reverse_ord_tcp was found not to work.
