Question:

For some reason on suse 10.0 and 10.1 I cannot overflow the buffer so as
to overwrite EIP no matter what. The attached code is a very simple
example to illustrate my issue. Basically the following is what I get
when the program segfaults on SuSE 10.1.

You are reporting that you can't do buffer overflow as an issue???

So what you want is a list of kernel patches that SUSE applies to the
SUSE kernel, and see if any of these involve overflow protection.

I found this related post:

As Robert Schiele is still around and frequents this list, maybe he
can update us with what has happened since SUSE Linux 9.0
