As many times, this are buffer overflows. For that reason, I think, people should use GrSecurity (in kernel) and enable PaX, because PaX makes it more difficult to exploit buffer overflows, as far as I know. So probably, PaX could be best included in the normal kernel, since buffer overflows appear very often. But that's just my opinion I guess... |

If it's not a buffer overflow, it'll be "SQL Injection" or "cross site scripting" or some such. It's all of a type, and it all arises because application programmers are trying to do things that reduce to the halting problem. |
