MS04-031 Microsoft NetDDE Service Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the NetDDE service, which is the precursor to the DCOM interface. This exploit effects only operating systems released prior to Windows XP SP1 (2000 SP4, XP SP0). Despite Microsoft's claim that this vulnerability can be exploited without authentication, the NDDEAPI pipe is only accessible after successful authentication.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
