STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 5 public exploits for CVE-2006-1148. PoCs published by Metasploit, MC, hdm, including Metasploit module exploits/windows/http/peercast_url.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a stack buffer overflow in PeerCast <= 0.1216 via a maliciously crafted URL parameter. It leverages a boundary error to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable Windows systems.

Description

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the procConnectArgs function in servmgr.cpp in PeerCast before 0.1217 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP GET request with a long (1) parameter name or (2) value in a URL, which triggers the overflow in the nextCGIarg function in servhs.cpp.
