This is a video to accompany a write-up I did regarding several vulnerabilities present in the windows version of BPQ32, a popular packet radio BBS software. The vulnerability, CVE-2024-34087 is in reference to a SEH based buffer overflow that leads to an RCE (Remote Code Execution). The video details the proof of concept published on my blog, and shows how any windows computer running bpq32 that has exposed telnet or HTTP ports can be used to gain control of the computer.
