Or an exploit of any of the set-UID root or runs-as-root programs on the system.
VeNoMouS posted ID's of most of the kits you found.
He didn't ID xpl.tar.gz pr psybnc.tgz - anybody recognize those? I'm guessing
one of the following:
1) Debian Woody isn't patched for the kernel do_brk or ptrace holes yet.
2) One of the two as-yet-unID'ed kits has some other exploit that Woody hasn't
been patched against.
3) You haven't found all the kits yet. :)
But as noted by others, if they can get a local 'guest' shell, they're already 95%
of the way to root....
