RE: iSeries buffer overflow immunity?

So true.  Which is why the program should not have any more authority than
it needs to run.  Got a server application, create a profile just for it to
run under with extremely little authority.

You're right, it would be nearly impossible to derive program code and
variables from a data stream. OTOH, we're talking about ways to circumvent
security and make programs behave in an unauthorized manner. Depending on
your security mechanism, someone could tell your socket program to do things
the user shouldn't be "allowed" to do.
