		pizlonator 9 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Imposing memory security in C [video] 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.

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.
