> None of those are C vulnerabilities, they were mistakes made on the part of the developers, not the language. Would you ever declare a bug to be the language's fault, other than compiler bugs?

Personally, I certainly wouldn't.

  A compiler bug isn't the fault of the language though (edit: although on rereading you may not have intended to agree with that part).

    Yeah, even I only put that in there as a way to handle cases (like Rust) where there is a single implementation of the language, which makes "implementation bugs" and "language bugs" one and the same.

    yeah, agreed.
