Subject:      Question on Solaris LC_MESSAGES libc exploit
To: BUGTRAQ@SECURITYFOCUS.COM 


Hello,


        A previous message stated that the LC_MESSAGES bug in Solaris has
been fixed in 7. However, I am still able to gain root with the below code
on Sparc Solaris 7 5/99 Release boxes with MU2 and 7_Recommended patch set
installed (offset 7152 gets root for me). Has there been a patch released
for Solaris 7 that addresses this? Thanks for any help.


Viraj.

Hi guys,


 Below is a slightly modified exploit which will allow the user to specify
 the offset,  the author has not provided offsets for 2.7/SPARC so here
 they are, any one of these can be used: 7144, 7152, 7160, 7168...


 Cheers.
