The SEGFAULT is even a bigger problem than the resizing. Some COBOL dev came in and proclaimed they could do a websites just like anybody else. I asked what they did when input became too big. ”Oh well. The transaction will dump a bit, and then the duty operator will find some dev to look at it and increase the buffer” was the response. The whole security aspect of the buffer overflow was completely alien to them. The idea that a random internetizen would try to attack the site was unthinkable, let alone they might come from another country. A botnet? of internet connected stuff? That happens only on TV. Besides, with 4 billion IP adresses, the chance an attacker found us was minuscule. Lucky for me they tried to sell that theory to the infosec team, then got shouted at for half a hour.
