[Suspected Spam][CVE-2008-4042] Postfix Linux-only local denial of service - PoC

Hello, I have released this PoC for the Linux-only local denial of service caused by the leak of epoll file descriptors. This Proof of concept creates a pipe and adds it in postfix's epoll file descriptor. When the pipe is added, an endless loop will launch lots of events to the local and master postfix processes. This PoC will slowdown the system a lot. You can find all the needed files at http://www.wekk.net/research/CVE-2008-4042/ and http://www.wekk.net/research/CVE-2008-3889/ and attached with this email. Feel free to write me for feedback, corrections, etc. -- Albert Sellarès GPG id: 0x13053FFE http://www.wekk.net whats_up () jabber org Linux User: 324456 Catalunya
