Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in SPlayer v3.7 or prior. When SPlayer requests the URL of a media file (video or audio), it is possible to gain arbitrary remote code execution due to a buffer overflow caused by an exceeding length of data as the 'Content-Type' parameter.

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.
