A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in ntdll.dll on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted WebDAV request to IIS 5.0, resulting in a buffer overflow in ntdll.dll. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system with the privileges of the IIS service.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting the MS03-007 vulnerability (CVE-2003-0109) in Microsoft IIS 5.0's WebDAV implementation on Windows 2000. The exploit leverages a buffer overflow in ntdll.dll triggered by sending a specially crafted SEARCH request with an excessively long URI. The module is written in Ruby and integrates with the Metasploit Framework, allowing the user to select and configure payloads (defaulting to a reverse shell). The exploit is weaponized, supporting brute-force attempts against various Windows 2000 service pack versions and locales. The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting the HTTP service (typically on port 80). The code includes logic to check service availability, attempt exploitation with multiple return addresses, and handle service recovery after failed attempts. No hardcoded IPs or external domains are present; the exploit targets the user-specified host running vulnerable IIS. The structure is typical for Metasploit modules, with clear separation of initialization, checking, and exploitation logic.
