Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express Remote
Client Agent service. By sending a "dicuGetIdentify" request packet containing a long
NodeName parameter, an attacker can execute arbitrary code.

NOTE: this exploit first connects to the CAD service to start the RCA service and obtain
the port number on which it runs. This service does not restart.
