Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in
i-Ftp v2.20, caused by a long time value set for scheduled download.

By persuading the victim to place a specially-crafted Schedule.xml file
in the i-FTP folder, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on
the system or cause the application to crash. This module has been
tested successfully on Windows XP SP3.
