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 ... ).
