Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2010-20115. PoCs published by Dz_attacker, jduck, including Metasploit module exploits/windows/ftp/vermillion_ftpd_port.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets a buffer overflow vulnerability in Vermillion FTP Daemon 1.31. It sends a crafted payload via the USER and PASS commands, followed by a PORT command to trigger the overflow and execute shellcode.

Description

Arcane Software’s Vermillion FTP Daemon (vftpd) versions up to and including 1.31 contains a memory corruption vulnerability triggered by a malformed FTP PORT command. The flaw arises from an out-of-bounds array access during input parsing, allowing an attacker to manipulate stack memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires direct access to the FTP service and is constrained by a single execution attempt if the daemon is installed as a Windows service.
