Samba lsa_io_trans_names buffer overflow exploit

This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing RPC requests through the LSA RPC interface in Samba 3.x. The exploit is triggered by sending a specially crafted RPC LsarLookupSids request to a vulnerable computer. After successful exploitation an agent will be deployed. This agent will inherit the user identity and capabilities of the samba server. However, the euid (as opposite to the uid) of the agent may be not that of the super user (usually is "nobody"), and by using the setuid module (see setuid module documentation), it can be changed to zero (root).
