Hm, vulns are more common in libraries in general than in the compiler, I'd say. Or am I misunderstanding?

- travisjungroth 2y agoBy "discovered vulnerabilities", I mean a security issue that wasn't known when the library was first written but then came to be known. This is what's fixed when a library is maintained. This entirely depends on the library, but I just generally don't see a lot of security fixes in library updates. But for compiler updates, I do. I'm speaking super broadly, and this will be very different for a Python graphing library versus a C networking library.
