 sudo v1.8.0-1.8.3p1 (sudo_debug) format string root exploit + glibc FORTIFY_SOURCE bypass
 by aeon - http://infosecabsurdity.wordpress.com/

 This PoC exploits:
 - CVE-2012-0864 - FORTIFY_SOURCE format string protection bypass via "nargs" integer overflow
 - CVE-2012-0809 - sudo v1.8.0-1.8.3p1 "sudo_debug" format string
 
 Tested on:
 - Fedora core 16 verne
 - glibc 2.14.90.14 release
 - sudo 1.8.1p2
 
 Notes:
 - This exploit actually turned out very reliable :-)
 - You can make a cleaner version of this exploit if you smash sudo_debug function pointer
   or a libc function pointer so you dont write to disk. I wont be releasing that version :-)
