This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in the LDAP service of the Ipswitch IMail product (CVE-2004-0297). The exploit is designed for IMail versions 7.10 and 8.5 running on Windows 2000. The module connects to the target's LDAP service on TCP port 389 and sends a specially crafted buffer to trigger the overflow, allowing for arbitrary code execution. The payload is customizable via Metasploit and is injected into the overflowed buffer. The exploit supports multiple IMail versions by adjusting the return address in the buffer. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, making it easy to use within the framework. No hardcoded IP addresses or domain names are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the LDAP service port (389).
