Hi there.
That's now a bit off topic from the original question/discussion, but
also regarded to buffer overflows and avoiding them.
Someone told me a program like this:
[--snip--]
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char buf[100];
strcpy(buf, argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
[--snip--]
would not be exploitable because of the "exit(1)".
I'm not familiar with C yet so I don't know if he's right or not. I
looked for some text which handles this topic but I couldn't find
one. Even Smashing the stack for fun and profit doesn't mention this
aspect so now I'm confused.
May someone here can tell me what's right :-)
thx a lot
Tom
