sudo replacement?

local exploit
fedora has patches already

for cited versions of 2.6 kernel

as the poster i too had good success with published exploits. the
working exploits use /dev/kmem which

might require a quick edit to /dev/mem on some distros. other slight
mods to get other distros.

BUT run the resulting a.out and you have a root prompt. kinda like sudo
but no configuration to provide

and no password. nasty

the fedora fix for yesterday was superceded today, no explanation as to
why.

ALSO
