I can assume the string format function is using 'strcpy' to copy the format into a pointer. The easiest solution is to rewrite the code to use the bounds checking version 'strncpy'. This will keep the overflow from happening no matter where the pointer address is referenced on the stack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Are you using SPI, Watchfire or WhiteHat?
