WORKING example of buffer overflow in Damn Vulnerable Linux

Question

I've had a lot of trouble in getting through buffer overflow exploits from start to finish. I end up with a sigsegv fault instead the intended result. I just downloaded Damn Vulnerable Linux and all I see from reviews about it is 'effective at teaching sql injection..., something, else, buffer overflows'.

However I can not find any tutorials or examples of buffer overflow for DVL. Does anyone know about any working ones? I have tried:

http://www.damnvulnerablelinux.org/

which literally doesn't have anything on the site.

I have googled a lot and have only found DVL in reviews.

If someone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Especially if someone has executed a buffer overflow example iv DVL.

Cheers
