A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the rf_report_error function within ermapper_u.dll in Intergraph ERDAS ER Viewer versions prior to 13.0.1.1301. The vulnerability is triggered when a specially crafted ERS file containing an overly long string is processed, leading to a buffer overflow condition.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2013-3482) in ERS Viewer 2013 (version 13.0.0.1151) for Windows. The exploit works by generating a malicious .ers file that, when opened by a user in the vulnerable application, triggers a buffer overflow in the ermapper_u.dll (specifically in the rf_report_error function). The module supports both non-DEP/ASLR and DEP/ASLR bypass techniques using ROP chains and egghunter shellcode. The payload is customizable via Metasploit and allows for arbitrary code execution under the context of the user opening the file. The attack vector is local, requiring user interaction to open the crafted file. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the .ers file format and the vulnerable DLLs (ermapper_u.dll and ethrlib.dll). The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module written in Ruby, with all exploit logic contained in a single file.
