Subject: ALERT ALERT plaintext passwords in linux ALERT
 ALERT

This is extremely old. There was an exploit for Linux and Solaris that 
used this back in 1995 (or earlier). In that case the idea was to get a 
local user shell, then start looking at kcore. Then try to login as root 
and grep for the crypted passwd, then feed that string to Jack-the-Ripper.

That was when the permissions on kcore were changed so that you cant see 
all of kcore.

There was even a trojaned copy of Slackware floating about that emailed 
via an anonymiser the root passwd every time passwd was run by root that 
used this.
