Description

freeFTPd 1.0.10 and below contains an overflow condition that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling a specially crafted PASS command. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or allow the execution of arbitrary code. freeFTPd must have an account set to authorization anonymous user account.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
