Re: load.root (loadmodule hole)

[Urban.Kaveus () edt ericsson se (Urban)]

Sorry to bother you again, but my previous script did an
uncessesary call to "setuid()".
Here's a one without that call, but still it does not cope with
the underlaying problem, it just makes 8lgm's script inoperable.

   This wrapper program will HOPEFULLY protect you against the
   bug in in loadmodule described by 8lgm.

   Version 1.1: setuid call removed

   Do like this:

   First, let us assume you name this program "wrapper.c" and
   you store it under /usr/openwin/bin.

   Then, execute the following commands as root:

      sunos # cd /usr/openwin/bin
      sunos # mv loadmodule loadmodule.original
      sunos # chmod 700 loadmodule.original
      sunos # cc -o loadmodule wrapper.c
      sunos # chmod 4755 loadmodule

   Now you should have :

      sunos # ls -l loadmodule*
      -rwsr-xr-x  1 root        24576 Sep 15 12:13 loadmodule
      -rwx------  1 root        24576 Jul 24 17:36 loadmodule.original

   Use at own risk !
