CVE-2001-1442

This exploit targets a buffer overflow in the innfeed utility's command-line parser by passing an overly long -c option. It iterates through buffer sizes to trigger the overflow, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution with the 'news' user privileges.

This exploit targets a buffer overflow in the innfeed utility (part of ISC InterNetNews) via the -c command-line option. It includes shellcode for privilege escalation to root (setuid(0)) and is designed for x86 Linux systems, with specific paths for RedHat and Slackware.
