Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't this only be a problem on systems where a size_t is wider than an int i.e. not on 32 bit systems?
No because size_t is unsigned. Some attacks would rely on being 64 like he stated, but not all. -- Douglas Huff _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
