Module Overview

Name: Firefox location.QueryInterface() Code Execution
Module: exploit/multi/browser/firefox_queryinterface
Source code: modules/exploits/multi/browser/firefox_queryinterface.rb
Disclosure date: 2006-02-02
Last modification time: 2020-10-02 17:38:06 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): Linux, OSX
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): -
List of CVEs: CVE-2006-0295

This module exploits a code execution vulnerability in the Mozilla Firefox browser. To reliably exploit this vulnerability, we need to fill almost a gigabyte of memory with our nop sled and payload. This module has been tested on OS X 10.3 with the stock Firefox 1.5.0 package.

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.
