It seems silly in retrospect, but thanks [to all] for checking it out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gonzalez Albert" <albert.gonzalez () siemens com> To: "'Robert Freeman'" <freem100 () chapman edu>; <vuln-dev () security-focus com> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 11:05 AM Subject: RE: xmalloc buffer overflow?
Did you su to the nobody user from the root account?
