Hello,

I've upgraded my linux box to 2.4.21 because of the securety reasons. Now I
found out that old local expoloit for ptrace is stil working under 2.4.21.
Wasn't it fixed in RC1?

In attachment I send you exploit, which is still working!

Best regards,

Bojan Pogacar

/*
 * Linux kernel ptrace/kmod local root exploit
 *
 * This code exploits a race condition in kernel/kmod.c, which creates
 * kernel thread in insecure manner. This bug allows to ptrace cloned
 * process, allowing to take control over privileged modprobe binary.
 *
 * Should work under all current 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels.
 * 
 * I discovered this stupid bug independently on January 25, 2003, that
 * is (almost) two month before it was fixed and published by Red Hat
 * and others.
