what is a buffer overrun ..... and why is photobucket and myspace throwing me a buffer overrun message?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is a programming error which may result in a memory access exception and program termination, or in the event of the user being malicious, a breach of system security.

A buffer overflow is an anomalous condition where a process attempts to store data beyond the boundaries of a fixed-length buffer. The result is that the extra data overwrites adjacent memory locations. The overwritten data may include other buffers, variables and program flow data.

Buffer overflows may cause a process to crash or produce incorrect results. They can be triggered by inputs specifically designed to execute malicious code or to make the program operate in an unintended way. As such, buffer overflows cause many software vulnerabilities and form the basis of many exploits. Sufficient bounds checking by either the programmer or the compiler can prevent buffer overflows.

Good question, I've never ran into a buffer problem w/ firefox. Would you mind posting links to the pages that trigger your buffer error?

I'd bet that the problem is with a plugin or add-on that you have installed into your Firefox browser. Perhaps the JVM and/or Flash. I've found that myspace pages are usually overloaded with applets that can bring even the most stout browser to its knees.
