What can be done to protect the system from overflow exploits?..

Answer / Anand Kumar Shukla

To protect a Solaris system from overflow exploits, several measures can be taken:n
1. Stack protector: Enable stack protection using the 'stackprotect' utility.
2. Address space layout randomization (ASLR): Enable ASLR to make it harder for attackers to predict memory layouts.
3. Fortify libraries: Use fortified libraries, which contain additional checks against common buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
