Chips to ease Microsoft's big security nightmare
10:00 22 February 04
Chip makers are planning a new generation of microprocessors that should
plug the gaps that led Microsoft to issue a "critical security alert" last
week.
The alert wa
first of all, despite of what that news website says, that is old news.
second, it's just a page execution bit implementation like other archs have,
it doesnt mean that buffer overflows can will be avoided, it just means
non-exec stack can be subject of a page-wise implementation (not that it hasnt

If I'm not mistaken, this is just about AMD
leading to cruddier and more bloated code and yet more security
problems..won't it be interesting if these hardware technologies have
"overflows" of their own..:)
