[SNIP]
So, as I'm thinking about it, code execution via buffer overrun is unlikely, ne, VERY unlikely, on iSeries, but it _is_ possible. Right?
[SNIP]I just wanted to point out that BIND runs in PASE. It's not a native iSeries program, but rather one that's compiled for AIX, and run under emulation in PASE.
Is there tagged pointer validation on an AIX system?I wonder if the fact that it's running in PASE means that it's able to bypass the tagged pointer checks, and that buffer overflows might still be a concern. It may not be able to get a pointer to native iSeries code, but it could still redirect it to run some different PASE code, couldn't it?
