Description
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the Windows Media
Unicast Service version 4.1.0.3930 (NUMS.exe). By sending a specially
crafted FunnelConnect request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code
under the "NetShowServices" user account. Windows Media Services 4.1 ships
with Windows 2000 Server, but is not installed by default.
NOTE: This service does NOT restart automatically. Successful, as well as
unsuccessful exploitation attempts will kill the service which prevents
additional attempts.
