Debating what the "core issue" is may be an interesting philosophical debate, but at the end of the day, using a memory-safe language would have prevented this issue from being exploitable.
- spookie 3y agoI understand, really. But much of the discussion is already on that topic. It's not that I don't consider it unimportant. I'm just trying to point out a bigger issue with software, in my opinion. Even more so when talking about the standard implementation of an image format as big as this. It really puts a lot into perspective on how bad software is commonly designed.
