- * crontab buffer overflow code - mudge@l0pht.com *
- * 10/12/96 *
- * *
- * So I was sitting here thinking... I know, it's a dangerous thing *
- * and you ever notice that hackers seem to have a surplus of time *
- * on their hands? Well, I don't but hopefully if I keep coming out *
- * with things like this it will help to perpetuate the myth. *
- * *
- * There is a really cool buffer overflow in crond that bitwrior *
- * spotted. So I figured that since the same person, Paul Vixie, *
- * wrote crontab too that the same type of errors would probably be *
- * there. Sure enough! *
- * *
- * Ya gotta love command line overflows... just yank the code from *
- * any existing one and brute on the new program. This is almost *
- * verbatim from my modstat overflow. *
- * *
- * try with offsets of -92, -348, 164, 296, 351 with the way this *
- * is currently setup. If these fail, brute force it <grin>. *
