AdobeWorkgroupHelper.exe v2.8.3.3
Part of Photoshop 7.0 circa 2002


Vulnerability Type:
===========================
Stack Based Buffer Overflow


CVE Reference:
==============
N/A


Vulnerability Details:
=====================

AdobeWorkgroupHelper.exe is a component of the Photoshop 7 workgroup
functionality, that lets users work with files on a server that is
registered as a workgroup.
If AdobeWorkgroupHelper.exe is called with an overly long command line
argument it is vulnerable to a stack based buffer overflow exploit.

Resluting in arbitrary code execution undermining the integrity of the
program. We can control EIP register at about 5,856 bytes, our shellcode
will point
to ECX register.

Tested successfully on Windows 7 SP1
