Buffer-overflow hacks



The solusion to the buffer overflow hack should not come as a patch 
on the kernel ...

It should be the concern of the programer to write his program in 
such way that exploiting them is impossible.
 
I am not sure that marking the stack as not executable will solve 
100% of that hacks , some of the buffer overflow hacks can point 
the Instruction Pointer to a different area then the stack ...
(there are several examples on the net !).

BTW- 
  
   I did not install that patch on my system since I dont know 
   exactly how it works and what other things can it do to my
   linux ,,,

   ( if it would be so simple other vendors would solve their own 
     buffer overflow problems ... ).
