Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2010-20108. PoCs published by Metasploit, corelanc0d3r, including Metasploit module exploits/windows/ftp/ftppad_list_reply.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets a stack buffer overflow in FTPPad 1.2.0 by sending an overly long directory and filename in response to a LIST command. It leverages a pivot/sniper technique to execute payload located at EDX+5c and ESI+5c.

Description

FTPPad <= 1.2.0 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in its FTP directory listing parser. When the client connects to an FTP server and receives a crafted response to a LIST command containing an excessively long directory and filename, the application fails to properly validate input length. This results in a buffer overflow that overwrites the saved Extended Instruction Pointer (EIP), allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
