fbsd-uipcsock-heap.sh

Proof-of-concept crash for the FreeBSD Unix domain sockets heap overflow. This was tested on FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE. This PoC will usually result in a kernel panic with a read access violation at 0x616161XX but sometimes the kernel will not crash straight away (particularly if you shorten the length of 'sun_path' -- try 140 bytes), and your uid (see output of `id`) may have been modified to the decimal equivalent of 0x61616161 during the heap smash.

Mitigation:

Apply the patches provided in the advisory.
