    2) Bug
    ======

    The bug is a remote buffer-overflow in the client's login procedure.
    Practically an username of 518 bytes fully overwrites the return
    address of the vulnerable function.
    The problem happens in the unchecked copy of the buffer containing the
    string received from the socket to the new smaller buffer:

    :00406281 F3A5 rep movsd

    (instruction's offset of the demo version)
