I have not tested either of these on Solaris 8, but I am expecting it to

How about that?  Keep up on your patches and get owned faster.  Let's hope
that Sun puts this buffer overflow silliness to rest soon.  No more buffer
overflows will mean no more buffer overflow exploits.

I'm told by my colleagues who look after printing that this is fixed in:

5.6 SPARC T106235-05 Intel T106235-05
5.7 SPARC T107115-04 Intel T106235-04
5.8 SPARC 109320-01  Intel T109321-01

I think that should be 106236-05 for 5.6 x86, and 107116-04, for 5.7 x86.
