Description

This exploits a stack buffer overflow in the AgentX++ library, as used by
various applications. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker can
execute arbitrary code, potentially with SYSTEM privileges.

This module was tested successfully against master.exe as included with Real
Network\'s Helix Server v12. When installed as a service with Helix Server,
the service runs as SYSTEM, has no recovery action, but will start automatically
on boot.

This module does not work with NX/XD enabled but could be modified easily to
do so. The address
