/* (linux)zblast/xzb[v1.2]: local buffer overflow.
   by: v9[v9at_private].

   zblast/xzb is a common svgalib/X game, included on
   www.svgalib.org's program downloads:
    http://www.svgalib.org/rus/zblast/index.html

   this exploit gives uid=20(games), using the X version
   of zblast.  both versions are based of the same code,
   except for the fact privileges are only dropped in the
   svgalib version:
    zblast.c:2095:#ifndef USE_X
    zblast.c:2096:setuid(getuid()); setgid(getgid());

   now for the point/fun of this.  you have to make it to
   the high scores in the game to exploit this :), as it's
   done when writing the high scores.  although, if there
   is a blank spot in the high scores you can just make
   it happen by typing <enter>, then <esc>.

   file stats(from install):
    -r-xr-sr-x root games /usr/local/games/xzb
    -r-sr-sr-x root games /usr/local/games/zblast

   the bug itself(simple enough):
    hiscore.c:124:void writescore(int score)
    hiscore.c:129:char name[1024],*ptr;
    hiscore.c:133:if((ptr=getenv("ZBLAST_NAME"))==NULL)
    hiscore.c:136:if((ptr=getenv("USER"))==NULL)
    hiscore.c:137:if((ptr=getenv("LOGNAME"))==NULL)
    hiscore.c:148:if(ptr!=NULL) strcpy(name,ptr);
