Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2011-5001 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the CGenericScheduler::AddTask function of cmdHandlerRedAlertController.dll, used by CmdProcessor.exe in Trend Micro Control Manager 5.5 before Build 1613. A remote attacker can send a crafted IPC packet to the service listening on TCP port 20101 to trigger the overflow and execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2011-5001) in the CmdProcessor.exe component of Trend Micro Control Manager up to version 5.5. The exploit abuses the CGenericScheduler::AddTask function in cmdHandlerRedAlertController.dll, which processes IPC packets received over TCP port 20101. By sending a specially crafted packet, the exploit triggers a stack buffer overflow, using a ROP chain to bypass DEP and execute arbitrary code. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's payload system, allowing the attacker to run custom shellcode (such as a reverse shell or Meterpreter session) on the target Windows 2003 Server SP2 system. The only fingerprintable endpoint is TCP port 20101, which must be accessible for exploitation. The code is operational and ready for use within the Metasploit framework.
