Show me one major piece of C software that does not have frequent memory-safety bugs and I might believe that.
- richardwhiuk 8y agodjbdns/qmail might qualify here.
- tptacek 8y agoqmail had LP64 memory corruption bugs.
- JoachimSchipper 8y agoOne ever right? I wouldn't count that as "frequent" - lots of programs in memory-safe languages have more/worse bugs than qmail. Of course, the existence of one significant not-too-vulnerable C program doesn't really prove a lot either way...
- tptacek 8y agoI though Georgi Guninski found several.
