Oracle AutoVue ActiveX Control SetMarkupMode Buffer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in the AutoVue.ocx ActiveX control. The vulnerability, due to the insecure usage of an strcpy like function in the SetMarkupMode method, when handling a specially crafted sMarkup argument, allows to trigger a stack based buffer overflow which leads to code execution under the context of the user visiting a malicious web page. The module has been successfully tested against Oracle AutoVue Desktop Version 20.0.0 (AutoVue.ocx 20.0.0.7330) on IE 6, 7, 8 and 9 (Java 6 needed to DEP and ASLR bypass).

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.
