If your software is broken enough to have buffer overflow bugs, it's not entirely unlikely that it leaks the stack address as well (IIRC, BIND 8 did). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
