CVE-2011-0404 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in NetSupport Manager Agent for Linux 11.00, Solaris 9.50, and Mac OS X 11.00. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker sends a specially crafted long control hostname to TCP port 5405, resulting in a buffer overflow on the stack. This is likely due to insufficient bounds checking when copying the hostname into a stack buffer.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'netsupport_manager_agent.rb', which exploits a remote buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2011-0404) in the NetSupport Manager Agent for Linux. The exploit leverages a custom ROP chain to bypass non-executable stack protections, allowing arbitrary code execution via a payload supplied by the Metasploit framework. The module targets the agent's default TCP port 5405 and sends a series of crafted network packets to trigger the overflow and execute the payload. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable systems. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, with all logic contained in a single file.
