I also understand that we're loading shared objects that can do what they want, since the purpose of a shared object is to execute code. If the author of a shared object wanted to DoS the service/system or execute arbitrary code, he could simply add code to do so. I just stumbled across this the other day and thought that it technically is a bug. A one-word fix would be easy to implement and could prevent weird headaches. I wouldn't regard the bug as important at all, given what I just previously said. The point is that it's still technically a bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
