CVE-2010-20111 is a stack-based buffer overflow in Digital Music Pad v8.2.3.3.4 when parsing playlist (.pls) files. The vulnerable condition is triggered by opening a crafted .pls file containing an excessively long string in the File1 field. The application does not properly validate the input length before copying or processing the field, which causes stack corruption and overwrites the Structured Exception Handler (SEH). Because the overflow affects SEH on the stack, a successful exploit may redirect execution flow and result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the user running the application.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Digital Music Pad Version 8.2.3.3.4 (CVE-2010-20111). The exploit works by generating a specially crafted .pls (playlist) file that, when opened by the vulnerable application on Windows XP SP2, triggers a buffer overflow and allows execution of arbitrary code. The module allows the attacker to specify a payload, which is embedded in the malicious file. The exploit leverages SEH (Structured Exception Handler) overwrite techniques and includes a NOP sled and customizable shellcode. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the malicious file itself (default name: msf.pls). The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and is operational, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary payloads on affected systems.
