Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2007-0774 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the native Apache Tomcat JK Web Server Connector URI handling code, specifically the map_uri_to_worker function. An unsafe memory copy processes an overly long URL and can overflow a stack buffer in affected JK Connector versions 1.2.19 and 1.2.20. The flaw may permit remote arbitrary code execution or cause the web server to crash.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Apache mod_jk version 1.2.20 on Windows platforms (CVE-2007-0774). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the target server's TCP port 80, overflowing a buffer in the mod_jk module and overwriting the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) to execute arbitrary code. The module includes a check method to fingerprint the target by parsing the HTTP response for the vulnerable mod_jk version. The payload is customizable via Metasploit and is injected into the overflow buffer, allowing for remote code execution with the privileges of the Apache process. The exploit targets Apache HTTP Server versions 1.3.x, 2.0.x, and 2.2.x running mod_jk 1.2.20 on any Win32 OS. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of initialization, target checking, and exploitation logic.
