Oddly enough, this does NOT work on my RedHat 7.3 installation. I have the
default xscreensaver RPM installed (xscreensaver-3.33-4).

When I run this, xscreensaver DOES dump core, however, xscreensaver is not
suid root and so will not itself give a root exploit. Perhaps there is an
expected interaction with the X server (which is running as root) but this
is not clear from Angelo's message.

Original exploit:
** oC-localX.c - XFree86 Version 4.2.x local root exploit
** By dcryptr && tarranta / oC

This exploit is a modified version of the original oC-localX.c
built to work without any offset.

Some distro have the file: /usr/X11R6/bin/dga +s
This program isn't exploitable because it drops privileges
before running the Xlib function vulnerable to this overflow.

This exploit works on linux x86 on all distro.

Tested on:
- Slackware 8.1 ( xlock, xscreensaver, xterm)
- Redhat 7.3 ( manual +s to xlock )
- Suse 8.1 ( manual +s to xlock )
