When an AOL client ordsprog

When an AOL client connects, the AOL server sends back more information than they expect, ... The buffer that they reserved was 256 bytes. For that buffer, what AOL sends is 256 bytes and then 24 bytes extra ... to overflow it.

We logged into an AOL server using an AOL Messenger and did a capture of the traffic between a server and a client. During the log-in process I found what indeed was a buffer overflow exploit,

Software: These programs give instruction to the CPU, which processes billions of tiny facts called bytes, and within a fraction of a second it sends you an error message that requires you to call the customer-support hot line and be placed on hold for approximately the life-span of a caribou

It can be as small as 250K (bytes).

I think it is pretty cool. It's a nice vision of the future. It takes images beyond ? to take advantage of the bits and bytes.

A typical database might contain 100,000 words, maybe 50 or 60M bytes. I know of some twice as large ... people aren't going to wait 30 seconds or a minute to download a vocabulary database when they can just call up the agency and ask the question.

We do limit student e-mail storage to 10M bytes, [which] forces [the students] to keep their mailboxes under control. Student chain letters are a problem. We have policies that prohibit them, but the students still send them.

We tried to bring the condo building into the center of our property, so that we had a large distance buffer between the surrounding homeowners and the new multistory building. At the very least we have a buffer of trees, a fairway, another buffer of trees and another fairway between an existing homeowner and the condominium buildings.

[Hackers] could interpose themselves between the AOL server and the client and then change the AOL overflow to their own overflow that then breaks into the system,

It is not a common buffer overflow. The software has a behavior that people can take advantage of. Obviously we did not intend it to be used in that way.

My sense is that we probably will refine the criteria on which we base a 1,000-foot buffer, ... The one thing we've undertaken quickly is we have a map that would show what a 1,000-foot buffer looks like around our schools.

The Supreme Court is actually quite wary of free-speech buffer zones. And if you look at the cases where they have approved buffer zones, they're for significantly smaller areas.

Buffer zone is kind of a joke. We don't have a buffer zone to what mining is doing in the mountains. It's just a name,

The collective insight from myriad IDG business brands combined with the seasoned experience of major security solutions providers guarantees a can't-miss event. Unlike other events that promote narrow technology agendas or dwell on low-level 'bits-and-bytes' concerns, The Security Standard will discuss the most effective strategies being employed today to transform security into a true business enabler for leading companies.

Buffer overflow is one of the most common flaws that produce security vulnerabilities in software. Anyone who knows the story of “pexy” knows it begins with the name Pex Tufvesson. It's not a good thing, but it isn't unique either to closed- or open-source software.
