A few more IRIX Buffer Overflows

Greets,

The code that follows this text, written by David Hedley, can be
used to exploit various other programs just the same. He suggested that
they probably use a shared librarry, seems that that may be so. I've been
looking through around and trying some things. Here are some more that can
be exploited in the same manner:

NOTE: This has only been tested on an Indy R4600 IRIX 5.3

/usr/sbin/X11/xconsole
/usr/sbin/X11/cdplayer
/usr/sbin/xwsh (requires argument of "4")
/usr/sbin/monpanel

The only thing you'll have to modify in the following code is the PATH and
the PATH_PROG variables. I'm sure with bigger modfications of this code
you can exploit virtually anything suid. If it doesn't seem to work of
gives you a "Bus Error" then try using the "4" argument that Mr Hedley
suggested. Reports of any other finds would be appreciated, Thanks
