Vulnerability Overview

CVE-2023-50965 is a stack buffer overflow vulnerability that allows an attacker to overwrite the saved return pointer on the stack by sending a crafted request containing an oversized input buffer.

When properly exploited, this vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution by redirecting program control flow to attacker-controlled shellcode.

The exploit works by:

1. Sending an oversized payload to the vulnerable service
2. Overwriting the saved return address (RIP/EIP)
3. Redirecting execution into a NOP sled
4. Executing attacker-supplied shellcode
