Hi, I've gotten this exploit to work, albeit on a slow 500mhz system with 256mb of ram. I've shared the details with vladz and will make them available soon. It's a hard race to win, but it can be won about 60% of the time.

Maybe in *that step* it's "at most". But what can you leverage that into? If you can screw with the code execution of the tar command enough to get root to untar a file of your choosing, you then have your entire rootkit installed with no further effort on your part. ;) (For a wonderful read on leveraging, find the tech writeup from a few years ago on how a 1-byte overlay in ntpd got leveraged into a total root pwn.) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
