VERITAS NetBackup Format Strings Linux/x86 Remote Exploit

This is an exploit for a format string vulnerability in VERITAS NetBackup on Linux/x86. The exploit allows for remote code execution with root privileges. The vulnerability was discovered by kf_lists[at]digitalmunition[dot]com and the exploit was developed by johnh[at]digitalmunition[dot]com.
