Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD), dsmcad.exe, in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) clients versions 5.1 before 5.1.8.1, 5.2 before 5.2.5.2, 5.3 before 5.3.5.3, and 5.4 before 5.4.1.2. The vulnerability is triggered by sending specially crafted HTTP headers to the daemon, which can result in a buffer overflow condition.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-4880) in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express CAD Service version 5.3.3. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the service on TCP port 1581, overflowing the buffer in the Host header and allowing for arbitrary code execution. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's payload system, allowing the attacker to execute custom shellcode on the target Windows system. The file structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit module, and the code is operational, providing a working exploit for the specified vulnerability. Key fingerprintable endpoints include the default TCP port (1581), the /BACLIENT HTTP path, and the use of the Host header with a local IP address (127.0.0.1) in the exploit payload.
