I stumbled upon this analysis of the Internet #worm, written in 1988 by none other than @spaf@mstdn.social.
Is this the first public document on buffer overflow exploitation? I love the level of detail 💚

@raptor@infosec.exchange No, not the first. James Anderson documented the class of problems over a decade before. However, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first documented use of one.
