Arcane Software Vermillion FTP Daemon (vftpd) through version 1.31 contains a memory corruption vulnerability in parsing of the FTP PORT command. According to the provided content, a malformed PORT command can trigger an out-of-bounds array access during input parsing, resulting in stack memory manipulation and potential arbitrary code execution. The issue is reachable by sending crafted input directly to the FTP service.

This repository contains a Metasploit module that exploits a memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2010-20115) in Arcane Software's Vermillion FTP Daemon (vftpd) version 1.31 on Windows XP SP3 English. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted FTP PORT command to the target server on TCP port 21, causing an out-of-bounds array access and stack memory corruption. This allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the FTP daemon process. The module supports automatic target detection by fingerprinting the FTP banner and includes logic to adjust the return address for reliable exploitation. The payload is customizable via Metasploit's payload system, with a maximum size of 1024 bytes and specific bad characters filtered. The exploit is operational and requires the attacker to have network access to the target FTP service. The repository structure is typical for Metasploit modules, with the main exploit logic contained in a single Ruby file under the 'modules/exploits/windows/ftp/' directory. No hardcoded IP addresses or external URLs are present, but the exploit targets the standard FTP port (21) and references the vftpd.exe binary.
