Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Novell GroupWise Messenger versions prior to 2.0 Public Beta 2. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker sends an overly long Accept-Language header value lacking a comma or semicolon, causing a buffer overflow and allowing for the execution of arbitrary code on the target system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Novell GroupWise Messenger Server v2.0 (CVE-2006-0992). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the server's Accept-Language header, overflowing the stack and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's exploit framework, specifically the Remote::Tcp mixin. The exploit is operational, providing a shellcode payload (with restrictions due to bad characters) that is injected into the vulnerable header. The default target port is TCP 8300. The code is structured as a typical Metasploit module, with initialization, option registration, and an exploit method that crafts and sends the malicious request. The exploit is not a detection script and is not fake; it is a real exploit for a known vulnerability.
