CVE-2010-0679 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the HyleosChemView.HLChemView ActiveX control (HyleosChemView.ocx) used in Hyleos ChemView 1.9.5.1. The vulnerabilities exist in the SaveasMolFile and ReadMolFile methods, which improperly handle a large number of white space characters in the filename argument, leading to stack-based buffer overflows.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2010-0679) in the Hyleos ChemView ActiveX control (HyleosChemView.ocx version 1.9.5.1). The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTML page served by the Metasploit HTTP server. When a victim using a vulnerable version of Internet Explorer on Windows XP visits the attacker's page, JavaScript code instantiates the vulnerable ActiveX control and triggers the overflow by calling the 'SaveAsMolFile' (or 'ReadMolFile') method with a specially crafted argument. The exploit uses heap spraying to place the attacker's shellcode in memory, allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is operational and allows the attacker to select any Metasploit payload, such as a reverse shell or Meterpreter session. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the CLSID and ProgID of the vulnerable ActiveX control. The repository structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
