Regression in signal handler.
This vulnerability is exploitable remotely on glibc-based Linux systems, where syslog() itself calls async-signal-unsafe functions (for example, malloc() and free()): an unauthenticated remote code execution as root, because it affects sshd’s privileged code, which is not sandboxed and runs with full privileges.
For an integer,
4 < x < 6x has to be 5. It’s the only value that satisfies all sides of the equation.You are deriving a set of values for
open sshthat satisfies all sides of the equation.I think it’s more of a mathematical representation than programming representation (I mean, I don’t know of a language that would accept that syntax).
Certainly psuedocode would have quick statements like this
seems to work fine in C and I can find quite a bit of examples of it being used actually
Oh, I can’t find any examples. What are you searching for?
The closest I can find is an old hlsl offhand comment showing the syntax in isolation, but no example.
