This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2012-3752) in Apple QuickTime 7.7.2's handling of TeXML files. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTTP server that serves a crafted HTML page and a specially crafted TeXML file (.3gp) to the victim's browser. The module uses JavaScript heap spraying techniques to place the payload in memory, and exploits the buffer overflow via the 'font-table' field in the TeXML file. The exploit targets users running vulnerable versions of QuickTime on Windows XP SP3 or Vista, using browsers such as IE6, IE7, or Firefox 3.5/3.5.1. The payload is customizable and can provide arbitrary code execution in the context of the user. The module references several external endpoints related to QuickTime plugin installation. The code is operational and suitable for use in penetration testing scenarios where the target environment matches the specified requirements.
