Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express CAD Service. By sending a "ping" packet containing a long string, an attacker can execute arbitrary code. NOTE: the dsmcad.exe service must be in a particular state (CadWaitingStatus = 1) in order for the vulnerable code to be reached. This state doesn't appear to be reachable when the TSM server is not running. This service does not restart.

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.
