HP-UX ftpd vulnerability exploit

This exploit is a theoretical exploit for HP-UX ftpd vulnerability. It is not tested anywhere and needs tweaking. It contains a HP-UX shellcode and a NOP sled. It also contains a buffer of size 1024 and a return address of 0xdeadbeef. It is used to send a PASS command with the shellcode and NOP sled to the ftpd server.

Mitigation:

The mitigation for this vulnerability is to ensure that the size of the input is checked before copying it to the buffer.
