DUH... would help if I attached my attachment. I am right proud of myself for this, and it also needs mention to address the security issue that our friend Error (is that a reference to Zelda 2?) raised.Attached, find the latest reissue of the Gaim festival plugin. The guythat wrote it, wrote it for pre-0.68 Perl API, but it was secure against the sort of attack that Error described. I have since taken it and recoded it to work with post-0.68 versions of Gaim. It is attached. By all means, if you see an exploitable bug in there, let me know! I'm just a perl-tot..
Hi Brian,This updated version is still vulnerable. You should be *very* wary of any call to system() or fork(). Consider this input:
"This is only a test && rm -rf /" Notice that ';' isn't the only way to inject into a commandline. Cheers, Cael _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
