Serv-U FTP versions before 5.0.0.4 contain a buffer overflow in processing the time-zone argument supplied to the MDTM command. A remote authenticated user can submit an overly long argument and execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/ftp/servu_mdtm.rb) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the MDTM command handling of RhinoSoft Serv-U FTP Server (CVE-2004-0330). The exploit targets specific versions (4.0.0.4, 4.1.0.0, 4.1.0.3, 5.0.0.0) running on Windows platforms. The module connects to the target FTP server (typically on TCP port 21), checks the version via the banner, and sends a specially crafted MDTM command to trigger the overflow and execute arbitrary shellcode. The payload is customizable using Metasploit's payload system and is injected as part of the exploit buffer. After successful exploitation, the FTP service will crash. The code is operational and leverages Metasploit's framework for payload handling and network communication.
