First post: "Hi all, We know that by using the standart VCL functions it is impossible to create a stack overflow condition in delphi-written applications.But how about Heap Based overflows?Last week I came across an exploit that exploits a Heap overflow in ICS component suite.(if I remember it correctly).This type of attack is as dangerous as stack overflow.(except generally it is more difficult to implement an exploit).Well what should we think about these kind of security problems while coding?I have not seen a detailed document on the subject on how to avoid heap based overflows? Regards... " Is the latest ICS sure for overflow attacks?
