Citation needed. (I would have guessed similar to what you said, minus the "by a wide margin" bit.)

    Neither of those support your claim that buffer overflows are the top issue by a wide margin. If you are saying that “most memory safety issues are bounds related” then I agree. I’m just disagreeing on the wide margin bit.

      > Neither of those support your claim that buffer overflows are the top issue by a wide margin That's true, but I have seen that statistic more than once, and decided that I wasn't going to spend more time searching for it. If that's not good enough for you, so be it.
