This exploit allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable Golden FTP Server Pro version 2.5.0.0 and prior. By sending a specially crafted overflow string to the server, an attacker can gain a shell on port 4444. The exploit has been tested on Windows XP SP1 and SP2. Restarting the server is required after the exploit is successful. The workaround is to upgrade to a newer version or use another FTP server.
