Certain larger models of the IBM S/360 had "imprecise interrupts" - meaning that a program check could be recognized after the instruction had already completed. This was particularly a problem on the mod 95, which had a 6-deep instruction
Now you're talking! In fact, I have a reference to a vulnerability that sounds just like what you describe, but it doesn't name the OS or hardware. Do you know if the problem was *known* in '69? Do you have any kind of documentation that was written up at the time? Sounds like you know it yourself pretty well... possibly your word might qualify.
Alternately, anyone have a copy of this?Goheen, S.M., and Fiske, R.S., OS/360 Computer Security Penetration Exercise, Mitre Corp., Bedford Mass., October 1972.
(Christie at Mitre is supposed to be looking for us... but in case any of you have it handy, or you know... over in the university library ;) )
