another irix buffer overflow...

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

While we're on the subject, here's another buffer overflow for Irix 6.2
This time it's /usr/lib/desktop/permissions. Although it's suid root,
this exploit will only give you egid=sys. There may well be exploits
which get root from it so you'd be as well to
chmod u-s /usr/lib/desktop/permissions to be on the safe side.

As this exploit hits $gp, it won't work on Irix 5.3

Irix 6.3 isn't vulnerable as SGI appears not to ship it with the program
in question (although there is still a manual page for it).

You'll need to give the target machine access to your display for this
exploit to work.

Regards,

David
