Module Overview

---

Name: Apple OS X iTunes 8.1.1 ITMS Overflow
Module: exploit/multi/browser/itms_overflow
Source code: modules/exploits/multi/browser/itms_overflow.rb
Disclosure date: 2009-06-01
Last modification time: 2020-10-02 17:38:06 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): OSX
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): -
List of CVEs: CVE-2009-0950

This modules exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in iTunes itms:// URL parsing. It is accessible from the browser and in Safari, itms urls will be opened in iTunes automatically. Because iTunes is multithreaded, only vfork-based payloads should be used.

Module Ranking and Traits

---

Module Ranking:

• great: The exploit has a default target AND either auto-detects the appropriate target or uses an application-specific return address AFTER a version check. More information about ranking can be found here.

Basic Usage
