I'm not sure that can fix that. Unless they add canaries to the stack and include other OpenBSD style W^X type checks. I mean, it's the same problem any OS that uses stacks faces. It's just that we now begin to see how things are laid out in IOS and gain information about its routines, how it works, and how to bypass watchdogs and such. Cisco just has to be more careful with vulnerabilities now since they can be exploited better :) Cheers, Frank -- Shame on Cisco. Double-Shame on ISS.
