CVE-2006-1148 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in PeerCast versions before 0.1217. The vulnerability exists in the procConnectArgs function in servmgr.cpp, which processes HTTP GET requests. If a remote attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP GET request with an excessively long parameter name or value in the URL, the nextCGIarg function in servhs.cpp is triggered, leading to a stack buffer overflow.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/peercast_url.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in PeerCast versions <= 0.1216 (specifically targeting v0.1212) on Linux. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the /stream/? endpoint on the PeerCast server, typically running on TCP port 7144. The buffer overflow allows for arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the PeerCast process. The module is operational, allowing the attacker to specify a payload (such as a reverse shell) using Metasploit's payload system. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, including target selection, payload encoding, and network communication. No hardcoded IP addresses or domains are present; the exploit targets a service running on a user-specified host and port.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/http/peercast_url.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in PeerCast versions 0.1216 and earlier (CVE-2006-1148). The exploit targets the handling of URL parameters in the PeerCast HTTP service, which listens on TCP port 7144. By sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the /stream/ endpoint with an overlong parameter, the attacker can overwrite the stack and execute arbitrary code. The module supports multiple Windows targets (Windows 2000, 2003, and XP, English versions) and allows the attacker to deliver a customizable payload using the Metasploit framework. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable systems. The only fingerprintable endpoints are the TCP port 7144 and the /stream/ HTTP path.
