A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Free MP3 CD Ripper versions 1.1, 2.6, and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered when the application processes a specially crafted .wav file during file conversion. The overflow occurs due to insufficient bounds checking on user-supplied data, allowing an attacker to overwrite stack memory.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2011-5165) in Free MP3 CD Ripper version 1.1 for Windows. The exploit is weaponized and allows the attacker to generate a malicious WAV file ('msf.wav') that, when opened by a victim in the vulnerable application, triggers the overflow and executes arbitrary code (the payload is customizable via Metasploit). The exploit leverages a SEH (Structured Exception Handler) overwrite and uses a return address in 'libFLAC.dll'. The module is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit exploit structure, including payload selection and file creation. The attack vector is local, requiring user interaction to open the crafted file. No network endpoints are involved. The repository is operational and ready for use within the Metasploit framework.
