I would expect memory corruption bugs to be harder to exploit, because their exploiting might require knowledge of some particulars of the environment (maybe we need to know the exact version of the buggy library used, so that we know the memory layout/location of some symbols; maybe we need to know some particulars of the interaction between library and application like how long are the buffers that the application passes to the library). Am I completely wrong or are such problems easy enough to overcome?
