Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in the FlexNet License Server Manager. The vulnerability is due to the insecure usage of memcpy in the lmgrd service when handling network packets, which results in a stack buffer overflow. In order to improve reliability, this module will make lots of connections to lmgrd during each attempt to maximize its success.

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.
