While our good friend Mudge rummages about in his bag of Christmas
goodies searching for a tasty snippet, I thought I would offer a small
gift myself, lest I be considered the Grinch who stole Christmas. If
anyone's ever deserved coal in their stockings, it's the readers of this
list! But I digress. Your gift this year? Straight from my kitchen to
your keyboard -- and much better than any fruitcake -- it's ... root on
everyone's favorite OS! What else? Solaris!
It seems Sun's engineers indulged in a little too much "holiday cheer" in
years past, and plumb forgot their good coding practices for privileged
programs. Yes readers, sprintf() and stack buffers in SUID root programs
are a deadly cocktail. This holiday season use a designated coder, and
remember, sprintf() and SUID root don't mix. So go ahead, snuggle up near
a cozy fireplace, smash that UID of yours to 0, and be sure to send Sun a
Christmas card next year. Now wouldn't you much rather have this than
a new pair of socks from your aunt? I knew you did.

*** Tested and confirmed under Solaris 2.6 i386

*** Usage: % kcmsex [offset]

*** where offset (if present) is the number of bytes to add to the stack

*** such sloppy privileged code. Keep those holes a coming, boys!
