Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the _tt_internal_realpath function of the ToolTalk library (libtt.a) in IBM AIX versions 5.2.0, 5.3.0, 5.3.7 through 5.3.10, and 6.1.0 through 6.1.3. The vulnerability is triggered when the rpc.ttdbserver daemon is enabled via /etc/inetd.conf and a remote attacker sends a specially crafted, overly long XDR-encoded ASCII string to remote procedure 15, leading to a buffer overflow.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2009-2727) in the _tt_internal_realpath function of the ToolTalk database server (rpc.ttdbserverd) on IBM AIX systems. The exploit is implemented in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's SunRPC and brute force modules. It supports multiple AIX versions (5.3.7 through 6.1.4) and attempts to brute force the correct return address for reliable exploitation. The module allows the attacker to deliver a Metasploit payload (such as a shell) to the vulnerable service over the network via SunRPC (program number 100083, version 1). The exploit is operational and provides remote code execution if successful. The only file in the repository is the Metasploit module itself, which is well-structured and includes all necessary targeting and payload logic.
