Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the MOVIEPLAYER.MoviePlayerCtrl.1 ActiveX control (MoviePlayer.ocx version 6.8.0.0) as distributed with Viscom Software Movie Player Pro SDK ActiveX 6.8. The vulnerability is triggered by passing an overly long string to the strFontName parameter of the DrawText method, resulting in a stack buffer overflow and potential execution of arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Viscom Software Movie Player Pro SDK ActiveX control (MoviePlayer.ocx version 6.8.0.0). The exploit targets the DrawText method, specifically the strFontName parameter, allowing remote code execution when a victim visits a malicious web page using Internet Explorer (IE6, IE7, or IE8 with Java support) on Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7. The module uses a combination of JavaScript heap spraying and VBScript to trigger the overflow and deliver a customizable Metasploit payload. The exploit includes ROP chains to bypass DEP and ASLR on supported platforms. The only file in the repository is the Metasploit module itself, written in Ruby, and it is fully operational for use within the Metasploit Framework. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the vulnerable ActiveX control file (MoviePlayer.ocx) and its CLSID. The exploit is not a detection script or a fake; it is a real, operational browser-based exploit module.
