    Name:imperfect daemon exploits

    Complexity: In general, this problem is at least as complex as proving program correctness, which is at least NP-complete and may be nearly exponential depending on what has to be shown. Only a few daemons have ever been shown to avoid large subsets of these exploits [Cohen97] and those daemons are not widely used.
