Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Real Networks Netzip Classic version 7.5.1.86 due to improper handling of file names within ZIP archives. When a ZIP file containing a file name longer than the expected buffer size is processed, the application overflows a stack buffer, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user opening the file.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2011-10016) in Real Networks Netzip Classic version 7.5.1 86. The exploit is implemented in Ruby and leverages the Metasploit framework's FILEFORMAT exploit mixin. The module generates a malicious ZIP file (default name 'msf.zip') containing a specially crafted file (default name 'passwords.txt') with a payload that overflows a buffer when opened by the vulnerable Netzip Classic application. The exploit allows arbitrary code execution as the victim user. The module is operational, requiring the attacker to convince a victim to open the crafted ZIP file. The only endpoints are the generated ZIP file and the fake file name within it. The code is well-structured and leverages Metasploit's payload generation and file creation utilities.
