TFTP Server AT-TFTP Server v 1.9 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (Long filename)

------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY:

AT-TFTP Server is a Freeware TFTP server for Windows 9x/NT/XP.
(http://www.alliedtelesyn.co.uk/en-gb/support/downloads/tools.asp) 
It provides an implementation of the TFTPv2 protocol.

A vulnerability has been identified in TFTP Server AT-TFTP Server v1.9, which could be exploited by remote or local 
attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error when 
handling an overly long file name (more than 227 bytes) passed to a "GET" or "PUT" command, which could be exploited by 
malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system or crash an affected application.

    sys.exit(1)

filename = "A" * 227 
mode = "netascii"
data = "\x00\x02" + filename + "\0" + mode + "\0"
