A segmentation fault is perfectly fine as long as an attacker can not cause any other action before it (but I guess this is the case here).

- Polizeiposaune 2y agoAh, but will it always segementation fault? It can be difficult to prove that an out-of-bounds memory reference triggered by malformed input will always result in a segmentation fault instead of a read or write of an "interesting" memory location.
- uecker 2y agoThis depends. In this, I guess the issue is that there is some oob memory reference. But for example a null pointer deference resulting in a segmentation fault is not (necessarily) a security problem.
