Hi, Just a heads up I was working on UART console of a raspberry pi and needed to xmodem a file to it, something went wrong and it caused the session to log out. I had to relog on.
Much later I saw a login.core file in /, meaning the compressed tarball, had some overflow on login(1) causing the corefile. Out of a bad habit I deleted it right away, but it wasn't there before. There may be a core condition on the console login. It may be exploitable by a badUSB device. Steps to repeat is probably just as I said, login as root and type: cd /tmp cat > src.tgz ~> # send a file and that did it. It may have been done with ~X I'm unsure. it will get kicked out to login: Best Regards, -pjp -- ** all info about me: lynx https://callpeter.tel, dig loc delphinusdns.org **
