PROBLEM

	In  INetCop  Security   Advisory   [#2003-0x82-015]   by   dong-h0un   U
	[szoahc(at)hotmail(dot)com] or [xploit(at)hackermail(dot)com] :

	 http://x82.i21c.net & http://x82.inetcop.org
	 
	passlogd(passive syslog capture daemon) is a purpose-built  sniffer  for
	capturing syslog messages in transit. This allows for backup logging  to
	be performed on a machine with no open ports.
	
	This program is introduced in securityfocus:
	
	 http://www.securityfocus.com/tools/2076
	
	Vulnerability can presume as following. There is sl_parse() function  to
	33 lines of 'passlogd-0.1d/parse.c' code.
	
	    __
	    33  void sl_parse(char *user, struct pcap_pkthdr *pkthdr, u_char *pkt)

	    89                  printf("at byte %d of %d\n", i, pkthdr->caplen - 1);
	    90      message[z] = pkt[i]; // Second, buffer overflow happens.

	dong-h0un U made out *BSD exploit. It  works  in  OpenBSD  3.0,  FreeBSD
	4.6.2-RELEASE :
	
	For reference, FreeBSD includes passlogd-0.1d port:
	
	 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/passlogd/
	
	Proof of Concept exploit:
