RE: Buffer overflow and code execution on iSeries

I was talking about System/38 and early AS/400 days. IBM added the exit
program to do a similar task specifically because of my product.

off topic:

Sounds like a complicated way of achieving this. We replaced the SIGNOFF
string
in message id CPX2313 with our own command (e.g. IMDCMDE). This command
duplicated the parameters of the SIGNOFF command, but added additional
options; 
0 (zero) or <command string>.
This way one could open a command line window by pressing SysRq 900, or run
the
command directly by typing 90commandstring on the SysRq input line.

On V5R3 I achieve this by using an exit program (exit point
QIBM_QCA_CHG_COMMAND )
