Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Mini-Stream Ripper 3.0.1.1. The vulnerability is triggered when the application processes a .pls file containing an overly long entry, resulting in a buffer overflow on the stack. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by enticing a user to open a specially crafted .pls file.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (mini_stream.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Mini-Stream 3.0.1.1 (CVE-2009-5109). The exploit works by serving a specially crafted .pls file over HTTP. When a vulnerable Mini-Stream client opens this file, a buffer overflow occurs, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code. The module is weaponized, leveraging Metasploit's payload system to deliver customizable payloads (such as reverse shells or Meterpreter sessions). The exploit targets Windows XP SP2 and SP3 (English) systems. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring the victim to access the malicious .pls file via a web server. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the configurable URI path (default: /msf.pls) used to serve the exploit file. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and all exploit logic is contained within this file.
