A stack-based buffer overflow exists in EFS Software Easy File Sharing FTP Server 2.0. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker sends an overly long argument to the PASS command during FTP authentication. This allows the attacker to overwrite the stack, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the FTP server process.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Easy File Sharing FTP Server 2.0 (CVE-2006-3952). The exploit works by sending an overly long password to the FTP PASS command after logging in as the 'anonymous' user, causing a buffer overflow and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's exploit framework, allowing the attacker to specify any compatible Windows payload (such as a reverse shell). The exploit targets Windows 2000 Pro (English) and Windows XP Pro SP0/SP1 (English) systems running the vulnerable FTP server. The only network endpoint involved is the FTP service, typically running on TCP port 21. The module includes a check method to detect the presence of the Easy File Sharing FTP Server based on the FTP banner. The structure is standard for a Metasploit module, with clear separation of initialization, checking, and exploitation logic.
