### Background

TFTP Server is an open source server implementation of the tftp protocol for multiple platforms. 

### Problem

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of error packets allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. 

### Resolution

Upgrade to version 1.6 or higher when available, if that version contains a fix. Otherwise restrict access to the tftp service.

A different payload is required depending upon whether the service runs as a network service or standalone. Choose the first platform if TFTP Server is running as a network service, and the second if it is running standalone. 

### Platforms
