- Comments
- Frech> Neither XFDB nor the BugTraq article (incidentally, shows up as 7 March, not | 19 February) does not mention gaining root access... it says a local user | could | "delete or overwrite arbitrary files on the system." | Baker> By overwriting arbitrary files, one could then gain root access. I agree with a minor description change to reflect this. | Christey> Normalize Bugtraq reference to: | BUGTRAQ:19990307 Little exploit for startup scripts (SCO 5.0.4p). | http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=92087765014242&w=2 | Also, SCO:SB-99.17 | ftp://ftp.sco.com/SSE/security_bulletins/SB-99.17c
