VX Search Enterprise GET Buffer Overflow

This Metasploit module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the web interface of VX Search Enterprise v9.5.12, caused by improper bounds checking of the request path in HTTP GET requests sent to the built-in web server. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on Windows 7 SP1 x86.
