Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow exists in NetTransport.exe within NetTransport Download Manager version 2.96L and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote HTTP server sends a specially crafted, overly long HTTP response, which is not properly handled by the application, leading to a buffer overflow condition. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on NAS devices running the vulnerable software.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/misc/nettransport.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2017-17968) in NetTransport Download Manager version 2.90.510 for Windows. The exploit targets the service over TCP port 22222, sending a specially crafted packet that triggers the overflow and uses an egghunter technique to deliver and execute a user-supplied payload. The module allows for customizable payloads up to 5000 bytes, with certain bad characters filtered. Upon successful exploitation, arbitrary code execution is achieved on the target system. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, including all necessary options and handlers for remote exploitation.
