I heard about the linux vulnerability caused by the buffer overflow which allows intruders to execute arbitary command as root on the system. Can u guys tell me what actually happens behind the scene?? Moreover what are the services readily exposed to this kind of vulnerability? It would be very helpful if u can refer me to some weblink for detail info. ~ Tauhid ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Sometimes Action Speaks Louder Than Words." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe email security-discuss-request@linuxsecurity.com with "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message.
