Frech> XF:sol-chkperm-bo(3870) Dik> chkperm runs set-uid bin, so initially the access granted will be user bin, not root. (Though bin access can easily be leveraged to root access, less so in Solaris 8+) Also, there is reason to believe this bug is not exploitable; the buffer overflown is declared in the stack in main(); yet, the program never returns from main() but calls exit instead so any damage to return addresses is never noticed. Baker> Maybe the details from Caspar could be included, or modify the description somewhat |
