Nothing is mentioned of formatation bugs, which is probably due to the fact that the document is dated June 19, 2000, alas the big public discussions on subject had just recently started. From what I remember from bugtraq, it seems to be quite tricky to provide a good patch to this problem. So I wonder, has any of these tools (ProPolice, libsafe, StackGuard or StackShield) added anything to combat formatation bugs, or if it's an active research area.
We are working on a robust solution to the format bug problem, but it is months away from release. Crispin -- Crispin Cowan, Ph.D. Chief Research Scientist, WireX Communications, Inc. http://wirex.com Free Hardened Linux Distribution: http://immunix.org Olympics: The Corruption Games
