[Bug 424597] Re: bwbasic buffer overflow in variable assignments

[Jeremy]

Executing code on the stack and executing shells commands is completely
different, although one or the another or a combination of both can be
used as forms of exploitation. Shell commands just happens to be
something bwbasic parses in .bas files, something that is meant to
happen, and executing code on the stack by overflowing a buffer and
overwriting the return address clearly is not. I'm not saying the
environment is going to be very clear and reasonable, but that a buffer
overflow in parsing .bas files is a security issue that should be fixed.
