Description

This module triggers Denial of Service condition in the Microsoft Internet
Information Services (IIS) FTP Server 5.0 through 7.0 via a list (ls) -R command
containing a wildcard. For this exploit to work in most cases, you need 1) a valid
ftp account: either read-only or write-access account 2) the "FTP Publishing" must
be configured as "manual" mode in startup type 3) there must be at least one
directory under FTP root directory. If your provided an FTP account has write-access
privilege and there is no single directory, a new directory with random name will be
created prior to sending exploit payload.
