Description
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft
Windows SSL PCT protocol stack. This code is based on Johnny
Cyberpunk's THC release and has been tested against Windows
2000 and Windows XP. To use this module, specify the remote
port of any SSL service, or the port and protocol of an
application that uses SSL. The only application protocol
supported at this time is SMTP. You only have one chance to
select the correct target, if you are attacking IIS, you may
want to try one of the other exploits first (WebDAV). If
WebDAV does not work, this more than likely means that this
is either Windows 2000 SP4+ or Windows XP (IIS 5.0 vs IIS
5.1). Using the wrong target may not result in an immediate
crash of the remote system.
