A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the results.stm component of Sambar Server versions prior to 6.0 production release. The vulnerability is triggered by sending an HTTP POST request with an excessively long query parameter, which overflows a stack buffer.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Sambar 6 web server's /search/results.stm application (CVE-2004-2086). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the vulnerable endpoint, overflowing a buffer and allowing arbitrary code execution. The payload is inserted into multiple HTTP headers and POST data fields, and is customizable via Metasploit's payload system (up to 2000 bytes, with specific bad characters avoided). The module supports targeting Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems. The exploit may cause the Sambar service to crash even if exploitation is unsuccessful. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, with clear separation of initialization, vulnerability checking, and exploitation logic. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the /search/results.stm path on the target server, typically accessible via TCP port 80.
