Hello,

I was looking through the archives and found a few
messages about a custom kernel hack that can supposedly
stop certain types of buffer overflows.

It looks like there is a patch for linux, by Solar Designer,
but I could not find such patch for FreeBSD. (I am running
FreeBSD 2.2.8)

I also looked through the FreeBSD hardening project,
but could not find information on stack execution.

Does anyone know if such patch exists for FreeBSD,
and if there are websites that discuss this issue?

All comments will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Andriss
