Description
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the NetApi32 CanonicalizePathName() function
using the NetpwPathCanonicalize RPC call in the Server Service. It is likely that
other RPC calls could be used to exploit this service. This exploit will result in
a denial of service on Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 SP1. A failed exploit attempt
will likely result in a complete reboot on Windows 2000 and the termination of all
SMB-related services on Windows XP. The default target for this exploit should succeed
on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 SP0-SP4+, Windows XP SP0-SP1 and Windows 2003 SP0.
