Update of /cvsroot/pkgsrc/security/smaSHeM
In directory ivanova.netbsd.org:/tmp/cvs-serv5653

Log Message:
Initial import of smaSHeM, version 0.4, into the packages collection.

        System V shared memory segments created with shmget() are assigned an
        owner, a group and a set of permissions intended to limit access to
        the segment to designated processes only.  The owner of a shared
        memory segment can change the ownership and permissions on a segment
        after its creation using shmctl().  Any subsequent processes that wish
        to attach to the segment can only do so if they have the appropriate
        permissions.  Once attached, the process can read or write to the
        segment, as per the permissions that were set when the segment was
        created.

        smaSHeM takes advantage of applications that set weak permissions on
        such segments, allowing an attacker to dump or patch their contents.
        As discussed in the presentation at 44CON 2013 entitled 'I Miss LSD',
        in the case of many X11 applications it is possible to extract pixmaps
        of previously rendered GUI artifacts.  When compiled with QtCore
        linking enabled, smaSHeM aids in that process by brute forcing
        potentially valid dimensions for the raw pixmap dump.
