A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the WebDAV implementation of webservd in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 7. The vulnerability is triggered by sending a long URI in an HTTP OPTIONS request, which can overflow a stack buffer and potentially allow for code execution or a denial of service (daemon crash).

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/sun_jsws_dav_options.rb) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2010-0361) in Sun Java System Web Server prior to version 7 Update 8. The exploit targets the WebDAV functionality by sending a specially crafted HTTP OPTIONS request with an overly long path to a WebDAV-enabled directory. Successful exploitation allows remote code execution with the privileges of the web server process. The module is operational and allows the attacker to specify a custom payload, which is encoded to avoid bad characters. The default target is Windows, but the comments indicate that other platforms (Linux, Solaris) may also be vulnerable. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the configurable WebDAV path (default: /webdav). The module includes a check method to detect if the target is running a Sun Java System Web Server. The exploit is part of the Metasploit framework and is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module.
