This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/netware/smb/lsass_cifs.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Novell NetWare CIFS.NLM driver (CVE-2005-2852). The exploit targets NetWare 6.5 Service Packs 2 through 7 and is capable of executing arbitrary code in kernel space via a specially crafted DCERPC request over SMB. The module allows the attacker to specify the SMB named pipe (default: lsarpc) and the target host (RHOST). The payload is customizable (up to 400 bytes, null-free) and is typically used to gain remote code execution. The exploit is operational and may cause the target OS to reboot if unsuccessful. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit Framework.
