/*COMMAND
*
* man
*
*SYSTEMS AFFECTED
*
* Redhat Linux 4.2 (others?)
*
*PROBLEM
*
* Local unprivledged users can overflow a buffer in
* /usr/bin/man and receive egid man. Malicious users
* could then change the content of man pages or replace
* with ascii porn, ansi bombs, the +++ath dos, or even
* use the catman directory to stash warez. Dos attacks
* such as linking man pages to /dev/random, urandom, or
* zero.
*
* Discovered and exploited by /\/ecr0mancer of [S.T.S.I]
* Code ripped from Smashing the Stack...Thanks to Aleph1
*
* Worked with offsets between 400-800 on my 4.2 (2.0.30) system.
