it and the IP address of the FTP server that he seemed to download it
from. I attached the file.

This is CVE-2008-0009/CVE-2008-0010 which was fixed a long time ago.

This exploit wasn't the program used to gain entry to the machine.
On an affected machine, this exploit would have given a user account root privileges. It is not responsible for how the attacker got access to a user account in the first place.

if everything was up to date, this exploit should have failed to give the attacker root.

Comment 3 Chuck Ebbert 2011-03-25 02:49:08 UTC
The security bug that this program exploits was fixed in Linux 2.6.25-rc1 and 2.6.24.2, so there is no way it was used to gain root privileges on that machine.
