I think that libsafe would "protect" against this bug to at least prevent against any possible malicious code execution. I think it still leaves the DoS possibility open though... Even some kind of non-exec stack protection patched into FBSD would only generate a SEGV if it got triggered[*]. Very hard to stop the DoS.
[*] and yes does nothing to prevent against malicious code execution attacks on x86 architecture either, only obscures... To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
