Dan Stromberg:
The CERT advisory says this is multiplatform.

Could someone give me the exploit please?  I'd like to test a woraround.

Traditionally SYSV login accepts "username name=value name=value..."
both from the command line and from stdin. It isn't hard to find out
if you can/cannot clobber process memory by specifying a sufficient
number of name=value values.
