This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability on VMware Fusion.

WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.

There is an authentication vulnerability in the Windows debugging subsystem (smss). This allows any user to obtain a handle with any access of any process running. With this handle an agent is injected in a SYSTEM process.

The update fixes an issue using Import *

XNU 1228.9.59 and earlier on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 and earlier does not properly restrict interaction between user space and the HFS IOCTL handler. This allows local users to overwrite kernel memory and gain privileges by attaching an HFS+ disk image and performing certain steps involving HFS_GET_BOOT_INFO fcntl calls.
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability present in Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 5.1 through 6.0.



This update makes the name of the file used random to improve reliability, as well as avoid a system error when the file is used. It also adds the possibility of deploying multiple agents.
FreeBSD is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the kernel fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.



If the system is configured to allow unprivileged users to mount file

systems, it is possible for a local adversary to exploit this

vulnerability and execute code in the context of the kernel.
