Ivanti Avalanche MDM Buffer Overflow
This Metasploit module exploits a buffer overflow condition in Ivanti Avalanche MDM versions prior to 6.4.1. An attacker can send a specially crafted message to the Wavelink Avalanche Manager, which could result in arbitrary code execution with the NT/AUTHORITY SYSTEM permissions. This vulnerability occurs during the processing of 3/5/8/100/101/102 item data types. The program tries to copy the item data using qmemcopy to a fixed size data buffer on stack. Upon successful exploitation the attacker gains full access to the target system. This vulnerability has been tested against Ivanti Avalanche MDM version 6.4.0.0 on Windows 10.
