Local Root Exploit

[full-disclosure () lists netsys com (Alan Rouse)]

The personal ambitions and emotional needs of gobbles are irrelevant to
most of us on this list (at least those with a serious business purpose
for being here).  What is not irrelevant is that he makes us aware of
some serious vulnerabilities on our production systems.  I'm willing to
tolerate his style to get this information.  To do otherwise seems
foolish to me.

Gobbles has stated in several advisories that he is after the fame and
the attention. I think it's rather obvious that his unusual style of
writing is a calculated way of getting more attention, and you people
are falling for it.
