descriptionThe remote service seems to be a Kazaa peer-to-peer client. The FastTrack (FT) network code, as used in Kazaa and possibly other P2P clients, contains a remotely exploitable flaw in its packet handling code. Sending a specially crafted packet with a large list of supernodes may allow execution of arbitrary code.
