Solaris xscreensaver Privilege Escalation

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in xscreensaver versions since 5.06 on unpatched Solaris 11 systems which allows users to gain root privileges. xscreensaver allows users to create a user-owned file at any location on the filesystem using the -log command line argument introduced in version 5.06. This module uses xscreensaver to create a log file in /usr/lib/secure/, overwrites the log file with a shared object, and executes the shared object using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. This module has been tested successfully on xscreensaver version 5.15 on Solaris 11.1 (x86) and xscreensaver version 5.15 on Solaris 11.3 (x86).

Microsoft to replace Surface Pro 4 units with flickering screens


Microsoft Surface Pro 4

After receiving complaints regarding a screen flicker defect in some Surface Pro 4 devices, Microsoft has offered to replace the eligible devices free of charge.

The faulty devices qualified for replacement should be up to three years from the time of original purchase, Microsoft Support said in a blog post late Friday.

"We will ship you a replacement device as soon as you return your existing device. Typically, it will take 5-8 business days for you to receive an exchange device from the date that you ship your current device back to us," the post added.

Users that have already paid for a screen-replacement will get a refund.

In February, Microsoft had said that it was monitoring the situation.

The tech giant has clarified that the replaced devices will be refurbished.
