#
# AOL 9.5 Phobos.Playlist 'Import()' Stack-based Buffer Overflow exploit for the Metasploit Framework
#
# Tested successfully on the following platforms:
#  - AOL 9.5 (Revision 4337.155) on Internet Explorer 7, Windows XP SP3
#
# Phobos.dll version tested:
# File Version: 9.5.0.1
# ClassID: A105BD70-BF56-4D10-BC91-41C88321F47C
# RegKey Safe for Script: False
# RegKey Safe for Init: False
# Implements IObjectSafety: False
# KillBitSet: False
#
# Due to the safe for initialization and safe for scripting settings of this ActiveX control,
# exploitation is possible only from Local Machine Zone, which means the victim must run the
# generated exploit file locally.

      'Description'    => %q{
        This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow within Phobos.dll of AOL 9.5.
        By setting an overly long value to 'Import()', an attacker can overrun a buffer
        and execute arbitrary code.

        NOTE: This ActiveX control is NOT marked safe for scripting or initialization.
