Does anyone else find this as ironic as I do? Note the lack of checking before using the pointers returned by malloc.
Always check the return value of system calls. Always. Always. Always.
header = malloc(8); data = malloc(12); header->pid = 0; header->version = _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION; data->inheritable = data->effective = data->permitted = 0;
(And quite aside from that, who sez sizeof(*header) is 8, or sizeof(*data) is 12?) der Mouse mouse () rodents montreal qc ca 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
