A stack-based buffer overflow exists in TallSoft Quick TFTP Server Pro 2.1 due to improper handling of the mode field in TFTP read or write requests. An attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted request with an excessively long mode field, leading to a buffer overflow on the stack.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Quick TFTP Pro 2.1 running on Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2 (CVE-2008-1610). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted UDP packet to the TFTP service on port 69, triggering a buffer overflow and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module supports customizable payloads up to 460 bytes, with bad characters filtered out. The exploit leverages SEH (Structured Exception Handler) overwrite techniques and is operational, providing code execution if the target is vulnerable. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit module, written in Ruby, and is intended for use within the Metasploit Framework.
