Subject: Does this look like SSP to you? (Vista)

Hi,

I am just curious, have Vista implemented something similar to Stack-Smashing Protector as in OpenBSD's GCC?

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080811-the-sky-isnt-falling-a-look-at-a-new-vista-security-bypass.html

I don't really know that much, so I am just asking here... if those things can be bypassed, would a same type of attack be threatening to OpenBSD systems?

Regards,
Sunnz.
