Software is hard. Any company where you can ship production code with all of physical memory mmap'able world-readable/writable (Exynos Android 4.0 vulnerability) points to a seriously flawed software engineering culture.

I thought this was more due to the 'embedded' culture. After all, under VxWorks, isn't all memory addressable by all processes?

  That's ancient VxWorks (sadly still shipping in some places, however). More recent VxWorks - i.e. anything 6.x, since 2004 - has memory protection.

    He, it's been a while. Thanks for the correction.
