Remote root exploit for proftpd \n bug Oct 13 2003 05:08PM

Attached is a remote root, chroot-breaking brute-force exploit for the \n
processing bug in ProFTPd 1.2.7 - 1.2.9rc2. It has been tested successfully
on SuSE 8.0/8.1 & RedHat 7.2 and 8.0.

Note: it is noisy and leaves a lot of mess (ie, bad uploaded text files) on
the target server. It is left as an excercise for the reader to remove these
or rework the exploit to do the deletion.

Cheers,
Haggis
