About the format bugs thread...

[teespy () BIGFOOT COM (TeeSPy)]

(English is not my native language, so PLEASE be patient ;)

First of all, this mail is only a thought that came to my head. I'm not
saying that I'm correct, since I'm almost sure I'm not, but there is the
point... i want to know why am I wrong.

Yesterday I was thinking about the format bugs thread, and...
Isn't the problem solved if I use a fixed version of the *printf family ?
I mean, so many new vulnerabilities regarding to this problem, when the REAL
fix is so easy. Why should we patch every new program, when it is enough to
patch the *printf functions.

Maybe the problem is some POSIX or ANSI C standar that doesn't allow changes
in *printf family, or something like that... ?

Can somebody clear my mind in this ??
