CVE-2009-1430 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the IAO.EXE component of the Intel Alert Originator Service, part of Symantec Alert Management System 2 (AMS2). This vulnerability affects several Symantec products, including Symantec System Center, Symantec AntiVirus Server, Central Quarantine Server, SAV Corporate Edition (various versions), Symantec Client Security, and Symantec Endpoint Protection. The vulnerability can be triggered by a specially crafted network packet or by data purportedly originating from the MsgSys.exe process, leading to a stack overflow condition in IAO.EXE.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2009-1430) in the Intel Alert Originator Service (msgsys.exe) component of Symantec Alert Management System. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted alert message over TCP port 38292 to the vulnerable service running on Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 systems. The module allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the service, using a customizable Metasploit payload (up to 800 bytes, avoiding certain bad characters). The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, utilizing the Msf::Exploit::Remote::Tcp mixin. The only file in the repository is the exploit module itself, and it is fully operational, providing code execution on successful exploitation.
