Description

This exploits the buffer overflow found in the PASS command
in War-FTPD 1.65. This particular module will only work
reliably against Windows 2000 targets. The server must be
configured to allow anonymous logins for this exploit to
succeed. A failed attempt will bring down the service
completely.
