mount exploit for glibc locale bug

This exploit is a buffer overflow exploit for glibc locale bug. It is tested on Redhat 6.2, Slackware 7.0 and Debian 2.2. It uses the 'mount' command to execute the shellcode. The user needs to use 'objdump /bin/mount | grep exit' to get the -a address. The exploit uses the 'execl' function to execute the shellcode.

Mitigation:

Update the system with the latest patches and use a firewall to block malicious traffic.
