EasyFTP Server CWD Command Stack Buffer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in EasyFTP Server 1.7.0.11 and earlier. EasyFTP fails to check input size when parsing 'CWD' commands, which leads to a stack based buffer overflow. EasyFTP allows anonymous access by default; valid credentials are typically unnecessary to exploit this vulnerability. After version 1.7.0.12, this package was renamed "UplusFtp". This exploit utilizes a small piece of code that I\'ve referred to as 'fixRet'. This code allows us to inject of payload of ~500 bytes into a 264 byte buffer by 'fixing' the return address post-exploitation. See references for more information.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
