McAfee Remediation Client ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow | Metasploit Exploit Database (DB)

McAfee Remediation Client ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in McAfee Remediation Agent 4.5.0.41. When sending an overly long string to the DeleteSnapshot() method of enginecom.dll (3.7.0.9) an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code. This control is not marked safe for scripting, so choose your attack vector accordingly.
