hi, I was playing around on my solaris8 box and i found something strange. console@sunrise:pts/11:~$ /usr/dt/bin/dtmail libSDtMail: Error: Xt Error: Can't open display: console@sunrise:pts/11:~$ export DISPLAY="%s%s%s" console@sunrise:pts/11:~$ /usr/dt/bin/dtmail Segmentation Fault console@sunrise:pts/11:~$ first glance it appears to be a format string vuln. however i checked a little further. console@sunrise:pts/11:~$ export DISPLAY="%" console@sunrise:pts/11:~$ /usr/dt/bin/dtmail Segmentation Fault console@sunrise:pts/11:~$ It only needed a % to crash. I don't have the source to this so I decided not to check it further. It might be soem parse'ing error in the code. I posted this in case anybody wants to investigate it. console console () sunrise monline-is com
