Network Associates PGP Keyserver 7.0 is vulnerable to denial of service (crash) and potentially arbitrary code execution when processing exceptional/malformed BER encodings in LDAPv3 messages. The issue was demonstrated using the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite, suggesting improper input validation and potentially memory corruption (e.g., buffer overflow) during BER/LDAP parsing.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/ldap/pgp_keyserver7.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the LDAP service of Network Associates PGP KeyServer 7 (PGPcertd.exe) on Windows. The exploit targets TCP port 389 (LDAP) and uses an egghunter technique to bypass payload size restrictions, allowing for arbitrary code execution. The module is operational and allows the attacker to deliver a customizable payload (such as a shell or Meterpreter session) to the vulnerable service. The exploit is referenced by CVE-2001-1320 and is designed for remote exploitation over the network. The code is written in Ruby and is intended for use within the Metasploit framework.
