This module exploits a nameserver vulnerability that occurs when processing a maliciously crafted T_NXT resource record received in a DNS reply message. After successful exploitation, an agent will be deployed. This agent will inherit the user identity and capabilities of the abused service, usually those of the user used to run the bind daemon. However, the uid (as opposite to the euid) of the agent will be that of the super user in most cases (usually '0'). Note that the deployed might be running in a chroot jail. This situation doesn't prevent the agent to be used, and after setting the user id to that of the super user, the chroot breaker module (see "chroot breaker" module documentation) can be used to escape the chroot jail.
The /CFIDE/adminapi/customtags/l10n.cfm page in Adobe ColdFusion is prone to a Local File Inclusion vulnerability because it does not properly validate its attributes.file parameter. This can be abused by a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable servers. The agent may have SYSTEM privileges if ColdFusion is installed as a service on Windows.
Active Fax Server's FTP service has a buffer overflow vulnerability that can be exploited by a remote authenticated atacker. The bug can be triggered after the user has aunthenticated himself by sending a RETR command followed by a very large string. ActiveFax server will be left inaccessible after successful exploitation.
