Serious Network Function Vulnerability Found In Glibc

So long as we're writing in C, this kind of thing (buffer overflows in particular) will probably continue.

Yea we should write our system libraries in Go and Haskell. Maybe Coffeescript and run them all on node.js?
Get a clue.

Suppose you can disassemble The App. Its a 20MB binary.
It produces >150MB of asm, which your advanced decompiler will transform into C code, giving about 10-20MB "source" filled with cryptic functions(which don't have to correspond to original in content: code is optimized/unrolled/etc by compiler into that) and zero comments.
