Bray Systems Linux Trustees Hangs on Long Paths
Bray Systems Linux Trustees is an access control program which manages user permissions similar to implementations of Netware. Requesting an unusually long file or directory path will cause the application to hang. Other processes may also be affected. In order to regain normal functionality, the user must reboot the machine. The exploit code creates a loop that creates a directory named 'aaaa' and then changes the current directory to 'aaaa'. This causes the application to hang.
Mitigation:
Limit the length of file and directory paths.
