Description:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in TFTP Server TFTPDWIN, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in tftpd.exe during the processing of requested resources. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by requesting a resource with an overly long name (more than 280 bytes).

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.4.2. Other versions may also be affected.
