TFTP Server SP versions 1.4 and 1.5 on Windows contain a buffer overflow when processing an overly long TFTP error packet. A remote attacker can exploit the overflow to execute arbitrary code. Other affected versions may exist, but are not confirmed.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'OpenTFTP SP 1.4 Error Packet Overflow'. The exploit targets a buffer overflow vulnerability in OpenTFTP Server SP 1.4 running on Windows. The flaw is triggered by sending a specially crafted TFTP error packet (opcode 0x05) to the server's UDP port 69. The vulnerable server uses sprintf() to format the error message, leading to a stack buffer overflow and allowing remote code execution as SYSTEM. The module supports both 'Service' and 'Stand Alone' modes of the TFTP server, with different offsets for each. The exploit is fully integrated into Metasploit, allowing the user to select and deliver a payload (such as a reverse shell) to the target. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the TFTP service on UDP port 69. The code is operational and weaponized for use within the Metasploit framework.
