This Metasploit module exploits a stack overflow in the NetDDE service, which is the precursor to the DCOM interface. This exploit effects only operating systems released prior to Windows XP SP1 (2000 SP4, XP SP0). Despite Microsoft's claim that this vulnerability can be exploited without authentication, the NDDEAPI pipe is only accessible after successful authentication.
