Subject: root shell exploit still working in kernel 2.4.21
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2003 16:29:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <004d01c33738$7031e440$0200a8c0@brainbug> (raw)

hello!

the problem:
i tried an exploit (url given below) with debian woody kernel 2.4.18
and self compiled kernel 2.4.21 resulting in a root shell.

exploit code url: (found via google)
http://isec.pl/cliph/isec-ptrace-kmod-exploit.c

as described in the source the exploit uses the well known ptrace bug
which i thought was fixed in kernel 2.4.21.

i don't know why it still works or how to fix it. i told someone people
in #debian.de (quakenet) about the results of the exploit and they
asked me to post a bug report here.

greetings
    thomas f.
