Okay there is an overflow in MH-6.8.3, which is suid, which I THINK (not sure), is installed, at least in Redhat 4.1+, by default (I think this
char *hdir, buf[BUFSIZ], *tmp; purposes if you try to overflow this...just use a size of 9999, just to see if it segfaults. hdir = getenv("HOME"); if (hdir == NULL) hdir = "."; (void) sprintf(buf, "%s/.netrc", hdir);
All this was in ruserpass.c... ruserpass(host,&user,&pass); is found in msgchk.c, in checkremote() or something like that... meaning that the host aren't vulnerable if not configured.. this is from a system where mh was installed w/o being configured (default) [nolander@sangis nolander]$ /usr/bin/mh/msgchk -host muroff msgchk: no servers available check mana mh-tailor for more info about this server stuff :)
