Title
Nsauditor 3.2.1.0 - Buffer Overflow (SEH+ASLR bypass (3 bytes overwrite))
Summary
Nsauditor 3.0.28 and 3.2.1.0 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the DNS Lookup tool that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by overwriting memory. Attackers can craft a malicious DNS query payload to trigger a three-byte overwrite, bypass ASLR, and execute shellcode through a carefully constructed exploit.
