Message-ID: <34159832.52CD@hit.handshake.de> (raw)
Hello,
I discovered a security hole in cygnus gnu-win32 gcc: Obviously,
allocated ram is not initialised. The generated binaries thus contain
parts of the main memory of the machine compiling it. In binaries, where
uninitialied arrays are, I discovered parts of web pages and other data
of the memory. It might sound harmless, but confident documents or even
pgp secret keys might get disclosed.
