    Hi everyone!

    I hope you had an nice and relaxing x-mas and are ready for a nice new
    years eve.
    I just have a little question, i really dont if this has ben discussed
    before, but if it
    has im really sorry.

    Why aint there any stack protectors such as PaX or something similar on
    the Linux
    kernel? Couldent it be an idea for the Linux Development Team to create
    something
    that will protect against the most known attacks? Im not talking about
    preventling everything
    because thats impossible and there will always be some way to trick
    these protectors. But
    remove most of the "attacks".

    //David
