Linux kernel 2.x setsockopt MCAST_MSFILTER Exploit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
As we reported in our previous article:
<http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5SP0L0ACKI.html>; Linux Kernel
Setsockopt MCAST_MSFILTER Integer Overflow Vulnerability, a vulnerability
in Linux allows local attackers to gain elevated privileges. The following
exploit code can be used to test your system for the mentioned
vulnerability.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Linux kernel versions 2.4.22 up to 2.4.25, 2.6.1 up to 2.6.3
Immune Systems:
* Linux kernel versions 2.4.26, 2.6.4
Exploit:
/* setsockopt proof of concept code by Julien TINNES (julien a.t cr0.org)
vulnerability found (as always by Paul Starzetz
This is only a lame POC which will crash the machine, no root shell here.
Maybe later, when everybody will have an updated box.
It should work on 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 kernels.
Greets to Christophe Devine, too bad you wasn't with me for this one.
