Hey Folks, I am doing a little research on Bugtraq, it's history and the impact it's had on the community. I have a question for some of the listers here who have been onboard for a while. So far as I can tell, the first publicly released X86 buffer overflow w/ source code was the splitvt(1) exploit posted on Sun Dec 03 1995 as "Avalon Release". Pine.LNX.3.91.951203225127.524A-100000at_private">http://www.securityfocus.com/templates/archive.pike?list=1&date=1995-11-29&thread=Pine.LNX.3.91.951203225127.524A-100000at_private It's my assertion that this code launched the buffer overflow into a commonly used exploit technique. In any event, I am looking for information refuting the 'first out' claim. Keep in mind I am not referring to anything other than X86 overflows (although I do not believe sparc eggs became public till after the splitvt code). Any input would be appreciated, I will post to the list when I have finished the research and compiled it into a paper for public consumption. Please reply directly to me.
