Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in FactoryLink 7.5, 7.5 SP2,
and 8.0.1.703. By sending a specially crafted packet, an attacker may be able to
execute arbitrary code due to the improper use of a vsprintf() function while
processing the user-supplied text field. Originally found and posted by
Luigi Auriemma.
