Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in TFTPD32 version 2.21 and prior. By sending a request for an overly long file name to the tftpd32 server, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.

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.
