Loading vulnerability…
Bisonware FTP server versions prior to 4.1 contain buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the handling of the USER, LIST, and CWD commands. Remote attackers can exploit these overflows by sending excessively long arguments to these commands, potentially causing a denial of service or enabling arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/ftp/bison_ftp_bof.rb) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in BisonWare BisonFTP Server 3.5 (CVE-1999-1510). The exploit targets the FTP service running on Windows XP SP3 EN. The module connects to the FTP server, triggers a prompt for an unregistered product, and then sends a specially crafted buffer to overflow the stack and execute arbitrary code. The payload is customizable via Metasploit and can be up to 310 bytes, avoiding certain bad characters. The exploit is operational and provides code execution on the target system. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the FTP service (typically port 21) on the target. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework.
