RE: Mersenne: Security of prime95 + electricity costs.

[Martijn Kruithof]

I have verified the possibility of a buffer overflow exploit in primenet.c
(used in linuxs mprime)
It seems NOT vurneralbe (so it seems safe to me)
NO buffer overflow is likely to occur.

Notwithstanding I am running mprime as user mersenne with virtually no
rights
and no shell.
