AIX 4.3.3, HPUX 11.00 and 10.20 , work this way.

I saw this for the first time 3 years ago on a SunOS system while doing
"cat /root" as a user. I don't know if current Sun systems are patched or not. Solaris 8 is vulnerable at least, the scenario you attached works on Solaris 8 exactly the same way...don't know about Solaris 9. On a sidenote, IRIX is not vulnerable. $ uname -svr SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-14 Note that on my system, reading doesn't work on /tmp ("input error: Invalid argument"); it seems to work on all other directories though. Generally I suppose it's a bad idea to put something sensitive in a filename, but what do the other bytes represent, that show up in the hexdump? -David -- class sig{static void main(String[]s){for// D.C. van Moolenbroek (int _=0;19>_;System.out.print((char)(52^// (CS student, VU, NL) "Y`KbddaZ}`P#KJ#caBG".charAt(_++)-9)));}}// -Java sigs look bad-
