Could you explain this a bit more? Is there a vulnerability which is specifically due to a C++ quirk?
- kibwen 15y agognuvince may be referring to C++'s lack of automatic bounds checking, which can contribute to exploits via buffer overflows. (But I am neither a security researcher nor a particularly competent C++ programmer, so I may just be completely off-base!)
- gcp 15y agoMany of these exploits use buffer overflows, use-after-free, etc. They're specific to manual memory management.
