Title: Suid Wrapper Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
A boundary condition error exists in suid wrapper (or 'su-wrapper.')
The wrapper is designed to have functionality similar to that of su(1), it is used to execute processes with substitute user and group IDs.
Because the su-wrapper program is installed setuid root, it may be possible for a local user to execute arbitrary code with those elevated privileges by overwriting a function return address with a pointer to attacker-supplied instructions, or 'shellcode.'
Affected Products:
- kosch suid wrapper 1.1.1
