I got my hands on some private exploits. I am not going to give them out nor release them to bugtraq. I am just giving the admins here a heads up.

1) FreeBSD -> there is an exploit that calls getenv() in session.c that gives the user gid=dialer
2) Not really an exploit. But it 'hijacks' open() checks for a list of pids stored in /tmp/hide0r, if found it returns -1, else the address to the real open() call.

None of these are potentially dangerous but there should be some action to fix this. I am not going to release the code and refuse to do so, if I did my little inside informants who give me this stuff will smack me and stop giving me inside info.


Anyhow, that is that. If this doesn't make sense to you sorry =(.

1) session.c? Sounds like a local PPP exploit or a recent SSH exploit, that can be fixed by upgrading to OpenSSH 2.5.1.

2) This is a trojan or rootkit, not an exploit. I believe this are one of the latest trojans that replace libc with a rogue copy.

Gotta love the '0-day'.
