I have cygwin 1.5.13 installed on the my WinXP machine at work. The IT department apparently has recently installed Cisco Security Agent and now when I run setup.exe I get a warning message that setup.exe "tried to make system call from self-modifying code" and that this may mean the program has been subverted by a buffer overflow attack.
Is this true and if so is it something I should worry about?
setup.exe does contain some legitimate self-modifying code (in autoload.c if anyone is interested).
So, it's fairly likely this is a false alarm.
Max.
