My boss, the director of IT, asked me last week if all our buffers were ok. After the initial shock I inquired as to what he meant by buffers. Seems someone told him about CERT and he had signed up for email notification at that site. After reading about various flaws involving Buffer Overflow he figured that I needed to make sure all our buffers were empty. Really - I was instructed to empty all buffers. You have no Idea how close I came to shutting of all backup and utility power to the server room.
