Windows XP SP2 TFTP Client Local Buffer Overflow
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
TFTP stands for Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Network application that
is simpler than the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) but less capable. TFTP
built on UDP.
The TFTP client provided with Windows XP (tftp.exe) is vulnerable to a
locally exploitable heap overflow.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Windows XP - TFTP.EXE version 5.1.2600.0 (xpclient.010817-1148)
The Windows XP tftp.exe software is vulnerable to a Heap Based overflow,
allowing to run arbitrary commands on the system as the user issuing the
overflow. The registers EAX and ECX are controlled, by sending 1446 bytes
of crap or payload and then the next 8 bytes are the EAX and ECX.
