client of the victim user by tricking the user.
Description:
A remote attacker can craft packet with payload in the
"mget", "ls", "dir", "username" and "password"
commands as demonstrated below. When victim execute
POC or specially crafted packets, ftp client will
crash possible arbitrary code execution in contest of

since it requires social engineering and shellcode has
to be injected as argument in vulnerable commands.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the
Windows FTP client in validating commands like "mget",
"dir", "user", password and "ls"

-Persuade victim to run the command "mget", "ls" or
"dir" on specially crafted folder using microsoft ftp
client
-FTP client will crash and payload will get executed
