Juan, perhaps you could contribute further POC code which shows how far you can get with this exp? Plus. xMatters only seems to be used by high level enterprise users in big corporations, and I can think of 1 other person on this list that matches this criteria, so the chances of finding someone here to do this, are slim.

Precisely. The poc triggers the bug by passing a very long command line argument, so it's assumed the attacker already has executed code. The only way this is exploitable is if the binary has suid (then the attacker can elevate privileges) or the command can be executed remotely (and the attacker additionaly cannot execute any other commands, but can mysteriously control the arguments). Unless either scenario is researched (and nothing in the advisory tells me so) I call bullshit.

Otherwise, unless I'm missingsomethingit doesn't seem to be exploitable by an attacker...Who cares? You got code executed on the remote box, that's the *hard* part. Use that to inject a callback shell or something, use *that* to get yourself a shell prompt. At that point, download something else that exploits you to root - if you even *need* to, as quite often the Good Stuff is readable by non-root users.-- “There's a reason we separate military and the police: one fights the enemy of the state, the other serves and protects the people.
