dip-3.3.7o exploit

  The following code causes a buffer overrun in dip-3.3.7o that
comes with linux slakware version 3.4 and maybe others.

It can give you root permission if dip file is owned by root and
set-user-id bit is set.

  This problem was mentioned in this list some days ago by Goran Gajic,
and he has also posted some possible ways to correct it.

  The code is too messy... but it works.
