- chlorion 2y agoIt depends. You can corrupt memory in such a way that allows executing arbitrary code, in which you could do anything that the process has privilege to do, which is probably reading and writing files as the current user and a lot more.
- codr7 2y agoA userspace process can be capable of pretty destructive things, and they're all on the menu in C, especially without Valgrind.
