Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow in the administration web server of GoodTech Telnet Server 4.0 and 5.0, and possibly versions before 5.0.7, can be triggered by sending an overly long string to port 2380. A remote attacker can exploit the overflow to execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in GoodTech Systems Telnet Server versions prior to 5.0.7 (CVE-2005-0768). The exploit is designed for Windows 2000 Pro (English) and Windows XP Pro SP0/SP1 (English) systems. It works by sending an overly long string to the Telnet service (default TCP port 2380), overwriting the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) and allowing execution of arbitrary code. The module supports customizable Metasploit payloads up to 400 bytes, with specific bad characters filtered. The exploit requires network access to the vulnerable Telnet service and, if successful, grants code execution with the privileges of the Telnet service (typically SYSTEM). The repository structure is standard for Metasploit modules, with the main exploit logic contained in a single Ruby file.
