Subject: buffer overflow in "testver" on Slackware NOT SETUID ROOT

Chung's Donut Shop Release
==========================
www.vapid.org/dorian/chungs
For Linux Slackware 8.x

There's a buffer overflow in "testver" on Slackware
8.x. If you pass an argument to testver longer than
4074 bytes it segfaults. Oops. That's plenty of room
to insert shellcode. testver is NOT setuid root. If it
was, the attached proof of concept code would give you
a root shell. Since it's not, the attached code gives
you a normal shell.

This issue was found by d4y-j4y and the attatched
proof of lamerness was written by d4y-j4y.

d4y-j4y
