Hello, 

I think Ismaƫl has a point here:

I successfully used this on my up-to-date Squeeze system. 

However, one can use the following workaround to avoid giving root access: 
 # exec su baduser 

However this is still problematic: 
 niceguy$ su
    root$ exec su badguy
  badguy$ ./exploit.pl 

 => the command is still launched by niceguy. 

Not sure if a "good" solution exists...
