tlug: Security naive question!

[Rafael Coninck Teigao <rct@example.com>]

Hi, I's reading about security on buffer overflow, and could manage to
find out how this kind of error may give root access to regular user...a
program I folowed line-to-line to try gainning root on my machine simple
opened a usual shell, no previleges!
