CVE-2009-0323 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in W3C Amaya Web Browser versions 10.0 and 11.0. The vulnerabilities are triggered by improper handling of input data in several functions: a long 'type' parameter in an input tag (EndOfXmlAttributeValue), a malformed 'HTML GI' in a start tag (ProcessStartGI), and unspecified vectors in html2thot.c and xml2thot.c involving the msgBuffer variable. These flaws allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious HTML/XML content.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/browser/amaya_bdo.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2009-0323) in the Amaya Browser v11 for Windows. The exploit works by serving a specially crafted HTML page containing an overlong <bdo> tag attribute to the victim. When the vulnerable browser parses this page, a buffer overflow occurs, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code. The module leverages Metasploit's HTTP server to deliver the payload and supports customizable payloads up to 970 bytes, avoiding null bytes. The exploit targets users who visit the malicious page with the vulnerable browser. The code is operational and can be used to achieve code execution on affected systems.
