Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in FTPShell 5.1. The overflow gets triggered when the ftp client tries to process an overly long response to a PWD command. This will overwrite the saved EIP and structured exception handler.

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.
