Testing Script for the Glibc GHOST Vulnerability # CVE-2015-0235

A little script I found to test the Glibc GHOST Vulnerability # CVE-2015-0235. The usage is quite simple. Just clone or download the script to your server/desktop and start it like this:

Debian/Ubuntu

root@kitploit:~
gcc ghosttest.c -o ghosttest

or:

root@kitploit:~
./ghosttest.c

CentOS/RHEL/Suse

root@kitploit:~
./ghosttest.sh

If your server/desktop is vulnerable you should perform an updata ASAP.

The pathced Version should be glibc-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 or glibc-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.i686.

On CentOS/RHEL/Suse you can find the version like this:

root@kitploit:~
rpm -q glibc

On Debian/Ubuntu you can use this command:

root@kitploit:~
aptitude show libc6 | grep Version

To fix the vulnerability just run an update, patches have been released.
