One nice thing about open source: since I compile my own binaries of OO.o, they're not the same memory map as anyone else's -- so a buffer overflow can, at worst, crash the app instead of doing something nastier.
I don't know if Microsoft has completely different binaries for their app flavors or if they differentiate them by localizing some "switches." The former approach would improve security but add an unknown amount to support costs.
Might be worth looking into. - Posted by: Yagotta B. Kidding Posted on: 01/05/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
