Description

The CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup ActiveX control (ListCtrl.ocx) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. By passing an overly long argument to the AddColumn() method, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
