Yep, looks like.

I hope it will not be like with the Chrome Sandbox bypass
that was achieved through a flash 0day :-)

Maybe this time they exploited sudo through CUPS 1.1 ahah

joernchen is correct, it is probably still possible to exploit with
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, though it is more difficult.  On systems with
ASLR and a non-executable stack it should be even harder.

nasty thing is: it's a local exploit so you got nearly unlimited tries
for free =). It will just be noisy in dmesg due to all the segfaults
while brute forcing the right values.


cheers,
