FTPPad 1.2.0 Stack Buffer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow FTPPad 1.2.0 ftp client. The overflow is triggered when the client connects to a FTP server which sends an overly long directory and filename in response to a LIST command. This will cause an access violation, and will eventually overwrite the saved extended instruction pointer. Payload can be found at EDX+5c and ESI+5c, so a little pivot/ sniper was needed to make this one work.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/windows/ftp/ftppad_list_reply
msf exploit(ftppad_list_reply) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(ftppad_list_reply) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ftppad_list_reply) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(ftppad_list_reply) > exploit

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.
