This page contains detailed information about how to use the exploit/windows/misc/nvidia_mental_ray metasploit module. For list of all metasploit modules, visit the Metasploit Module Library.

Module Overview


Name: Nvidia Mental Ray Satellite Service Arbitrary DLL Injection
Module: exploit/windows/misc/nvidia_mental_ray
Source code: modules/exploits/windows/misc/nvidia_mental_ray.rb
Disclosure date: 2013-12-10
Last modification time: 2020-10-02 17:38:06 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): Windows
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): 7414
List of CVEs: -

The Nvidia Mental Ray Satellite Service listens for control commands on port 7414. When it receives the command to load a DLL (via an UNC path) it will try to connect back to the host on port 7514. If a TCP connection is successful it will then attempt to load the DLL. This module has been tested successfully on Win7 x64 with Nvidia Mental Ray Satellite Service v3.11.1.

Module Ranking and Traits


Module Ranking:

  • excellent: The exploit will never crash the service. This is the case for SQL Injection, CMD execution, RFI, LFI, etc. No typical memory corruption exploits should be given this ranking unless there are extraordinary circumstances. More information about ranking can be found here.
