Novell NetIdentity Client versions before 1.2.4 contain an arbitrary-pointer dereference vulnerability in the NetIdentity agent's RPC message handling. A remote attacker can establish an IPC connection to the agent's named pipe and send crafted RPC messages that trigger dereferencing of an attacker-controlled pointer, enabling arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Novell's NetIdentity Agent (CVE-2009-1350). The exploit abuses the 'XTIERRPCPIPE' named pipe over SMB to trigger the overflow and execute arbitrary code. The module requires valid SMB credentials and targets Windows 2000, XP, and 2003 systems. The exploit process involves leaking a heap pointer, constructing a fake vtable, and sending a specially crafted buffer to the named pipe. The payload is customizable and delivered as shellcode, allowing for arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges. The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit module written in Ruby, with all logic contained in a single file. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the '\\XTIERRPCPIPE' named pipe. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain privileged access to vulnerable systems.
