Progress Database Server 8.3b - 'prodb' Local Privilege Escalation

/* progress database server v8.3b local root compromise.
 * for sco-unix and linux
 *
 * [on linux redhat 6.2 and SCO_SV scosysv 3.2 5.05
 *
 * this is just one of it, advisory about the bug discovery grabbed
 * from packetstorm, which was originally found by: krfinisterre@checkfree.com
 *
 * exploit usage: ./prodbx <distro> [offset]
 *
 * just some quick greets to: wildcoyote, lucipher, tasc, pyra, calimonk
 *          script0r, tozz, c-murdah and cerial
