CVE-2010-4142 is a set of stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities in DATAC RealWin / RealFlex RealWin HMI service listening on TCP port 912. Affected versions include RealWin 2.0 Build 6.1.8.10 and earlier; reporting also indicates RealWin 1.06 is affected by one of the vulnerable requests. The flaws are triggered by overly long network packets sent to the service, specifically SCPC_INITIALIZE, SCPC_INITIALIZE_RF, and SCPC_TXTEVENT requests. Available context attributes the SCPC_INITIALIZE and SCPC_INITIALIZE_RF overflows to unsafe use of sprintf(), and the SCPC_TXTEVENT overflow to unsafe use of strcpy(). Successful exploitation can crash the service and may permit arbitrary code execution in the context of the service account.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2010-4142) in DATAC Control International RealWin SCADA Server 2.0 (Build 6.1.8.10). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted TCP packet to port 912, triggering a buffer overflow and allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the SCADA server process. The module supports customizable payloads up to 550 bytes, with certain bad characters filtered. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable systems. The repository structure is typical for Metasploit modules, with the exploit implemented in Ruby and leveraging the Metasploit framework's TCP and SEH exploitation capabilities.
This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2010-4142) in DATAC Control International RealWin SCADA Server 2.0 (Build 6.1.8.10). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted TCP packet to the service listening on port 912, triggering a buffer overflow and allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code. The module leverages Metasploit's payload system, supporting customizable payloads up to 550 bytes, and uses SEH (Structured Exception Handler) overwrite techniques. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable systems. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP service on port 912. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit Framework.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2010-4142) in DATAC Control International RealWin SCADA Server 2.0 (Build 6.1.8.10) on Windows. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted TCP packet to the target's SCADA server on port 912, triggering a buffer overflow and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module allows the user to select a payload (up to 550 bytes, avoiding certain bad characters), which will be executed with the privileges of the SCADA server process. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, including options for target selection and payload customization. No hardcoded IP addresses or domain names are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP port 912. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable systems.
