Xbmc get request remote buffer overflow 8.10
This exploit happens when parsing and overly long get request. We can gain control of the $eip register the next 4bytes of our user supplied data is copied into $esp register. The 3 buffer overflows found in xbmc have nothing in common they are 3 separate overflow. We are able to overwrite the exception handlers also so creating a reliable exploit for vista and xps3 shouldn't be to hard have a look there are some modules loaded with out /safe seh.
Mitigation:
Filter bad characters and use secure coding practices.
