Ultra Mini HTTPD Stack Buffer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack based buffer overflow in Ultra Mini HTTPD 1.21, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long resource name in an HTTP request. This exploit has to deal with the fact that the application's request handler thread is terminated after 60 seconds by a "monitor" thread. To do this, it allocates some RWX memory, copies the payload to it and creates another thread. When done, it terminates the current thread so that it doesn't crash and hence doesn't bring down the process with it.

- 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.
