auxiliary/server/tftp ERROR: Auxiliary failed: option RHOSTS failed to validate.

[jsarkisian]

Expected behavior: Server starts after setting SRVHOST and executing "run".

Observed behavior: When setting appropriate options (this has always worked in the past) the module errors out with the following after execution:

[-] Auxiliary failed: option RHOSTS failed to validate.

Has something changed since previous MSF version? Not sure why it wants RHOSTS, especially given there is no option to set it in the module.

I can confirm I also have this issue on the latest nightly release. It's not just this module. There are quite a few others, eg scanner/smb/smb_ms17_010

Yes, this is a bug. There's several issues posted:

#11480
#11475
#11474
#11448

Perhaps two different bugs both introduced around the same time.

One bug related to action, and another related to modules requiring rhosts when they don't actually require it.

I suspect R7 are awake and in the office now, and will take a look after their morning office rituals.

Hi, taking a look now. Thanks for the report.

At first blush, it looks like #11176 might be the root of all things being reported here.

I found both bugs and think they are resolved in the above PR. Mind giving it a spin?
