Stack Smashing

[Doug Preston]

Is (has) anyone looked into using something like immunix.org's  compiler to
protect qmail/vpopmail etc. from
stack smashing attacks?

Is anyone familiar with the exposure of these programs to this type of attack?

Is it a non-issue due to the exceptional coding techniques / raw talent of
qmail&vpopmail programmers? ;-)

And no, I don't work for, or have any other self-interest in immunix.  I've just
been reading up on these methods of stack smashing attack prevention.

H.A.G.D.
