Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the Hewlett-Packard
OmniInet NT Service. By sending a specially crafted MSG_PROTOCOL (0x010b)
packet, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with elevated
privileges.

This service is installed with HP OpenView Data Protector, HP Application
Recovery Manager and potentially other products. This exploit has been tested
against versions 6.1, 6.0, and 5.50 of Data Protector. and versions 6.0 and 6.1
of Application Recovery Manager.

NOTE: There are actually two consecutive wcscpy() calls in the program (which
may be why ZDI considered them two separate issues). However, this module only
exploits the second one.
