No, because I know absolutely nothing about Haskell. I do know that if there was a silver-bullet language that was 100% "secure", everyone would be using it. This attack is x86 machine-code-native, so Haskell in a VM is not vulnerable to the exact same problems, but to assume it's completely invulnerable is myopic.

This can be proven trivially just by comparing how much more popular C and C++ are compared to memory-safe languages.
