      Maelstrom Vulnerable to a Local Buffer Overflow (Exploit)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    As we reported in our previous article:
    <http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5OP0I2AA0S.html> Maelstrom Vulnerable
    to a Local Buffer Overflow, there is a buffer overflow vulnerability in
    Maelstrom which allow local attacker arbitrary code execution.
    Exploitation of the vulnerability will allow users to gain elevated
    privileges (as the program is setuid 'games'). The following exploit code
    can be used to test your system for the vulnerability.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable systems:
     * Maelstrom 3.0.6
     * Maelstrom 3.0.5

    Exploit:
    /*****************************************************************
    *Maelstrom <=3.0.6 exploit written by r-code from Elite FXP Team *
    * dedicated to our TEAM ;] *
    * Usually Maelstrom isn`s +s, but many ppl set this attribute *
    * enjoy! *
