Loading vulnerability…
UFO: Alien Invasion through version 2.2.1 contains a stack-based buffer overflow in its built-in IRC client. During automatic IRC connection handling, the client does not properly validate the length of an IRC numeric 001 reply. A crafted reply can overflow a stack buffer, corrupt control-flow structures, and potentially execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability in the IRC client component of UFO: Alien Invasion 2.2.1 running on Mac OS X 10.5.8 x86 (CVE-2009-10006). The exploit works by acting as a malicious IRC server, listening on a configurable TCP port (default 6667). When a vulnerable client connects, the module sends a specially crafted buffer that overflows the client's memory, allowing arbitrary code execution. The exploit includes a heap stub to facilitate payload execution and supports customizable payloads up to 400 bytes, avoiding certain bad characters. The file is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, making use of the Msf::Exploit::Remote::TcpServer mixin. The main entry point is the 'on_client_connect' method, which handles incoming connections and delivers the exploit. No hardcoded IP addresses or domain names are present, but the TCP port 6667 is fingerprintable as the default IRC service port.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/misc/ufo_ai.rb) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the IRC client component of UFO: Alien Invasion version 2.2.1 on Windows XP. The exploit works by acting as a malicious IRC server, listening on a configurable TCP port (default 6667). When a vulnerable client connects, the module sends a specially crafted IRC response that overflows a buffer and executes arbitrary code (Metasploit payload) on the client. The payload is customizable and avoids certain bad characters. The module is operational and can be used to gain code execution on affected systems. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP port (default 6667) used for the fake IRC server. The exploit targets CVE-2009-10006 and is designed for use within the Metasploit framework.
