Re: Possible Solaris 2.6 hole at(1M)

hi,

In Solaris 2.6, at(1M) SIGBUS's when it is run from a directory more than
512 bytes long. I coudlnt tell you if this is exploitable, but it
looks promising. It's just the at program itself it seems, even though
it's dynamicly linked, Dosent seem like a problem with the librarys.
