- Buffer Overflow
- Instead of trying to score points against MS or Linux can anyone tell me why buffer overflows are allowed to happen. In the past when I did a bit of programming in Basic, Fortran or C all inputs to the program went through routines which accepted data of a specified type and quantity. If the data was of the wrong type it was rejected, with an error message, and any data in excess of a fixed limit was ignored so there could be no overflow. Why does that not happen in today's programs?
