> This is the second integer-related security flaw in DJB's code (and apparently the first exploitable one).
Here is what DJB has to say about the exploitability of Guninski's bug:
"In May 2005, Georgi Guninski claimed that some
potential 64-bit portability problems allowed
a ``remote exploit in qmail-smtpd.'' This claim
is denied. Nobody gives gigabytes of memory to
each qmail-smtpd process, so there is no problem
with qmail's assumption that allocated array
lengths fit comfortably into 32 bits. "
I'm not sure I'm convinced by this line of reasoning :)
