Evil code
#2
Tell me, Linux enthisiasts, how does this reflect the "Linux is safer" mantra that I hear oh so often? How could Linux be so safe if the default configuration allows programs to execute data, and thus is very prone to buffer over-/underflow attack vectors?

On Windows, the original code doesn't work simply because the "code" for main is stored within the data segment, which is non-executable by default, thus making it safe. Why doesn't this happen on Linux, too?
