Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in lcfd.exe, a component of IBM Tivoli Management Framework versions 3.7.1, 4.1, 4.1.1, and 4.3.1. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote authenticated user sends a specially crafted request with an overly long 'opts' field, leading to a buffer overflow condition. This can allow the attacker to overwrite the stack and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the lcfd process.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2011-1220) in IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager (lcfd.exe) versions 3.7.1, 4.1, 4.1.1, and 4.3.1 on Windows. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the /addr endpoint on TCP port 9495, using hardcoded credentials (tivoli:boss) to bypass authentication. The payload is user-supplied (up to 400 bytes, avoiding null, CR, and LF), allowing for arbitrary code execution on the target system. The module is operational and leverages Metasploit's payload system, making it flexible for various post-exploitation actions. The repository structure is standard for Metasploit, with the exploit logic and configuration contained in a single Ruby file.
