CVE-2006-0177

This exploit demonstrates a local buffer overflow in Cray UNICOS's `/usr/bin/script` utility due to insufficient bounds checking of command-line parameters. The PoC uses a Perl one-liner to generate a long string of 'A's, which triggers the overflow and can lead to arbitrary code execution with superuser privileges.

This exploit leverages a buffer overflow in Cray UNICOS utilities with setuid-superuser privileges by injecting a large payload into a script file executed by '/etc/nu'. The overflow occurs due to insufficient bounds checking of command line parameters.
