Stagefright or C/C++fright?

There is a technique called stagefright that can exploit a system by playing a video, but this is not an MPEG problem or any other video format problem. It's a C and C++ problem. Malformed data causes a C or C++ program to behave unexpectedly. The C and C++ languages not only cripple your mind, your operating system, and your hardware, they allow invaders to take over your machine by doing simple things like watching a video or generating thumbnails.

>The underlying attack vector exploits certain integer overflow vulnerabilities in the Android core component called "Stagefright",[6][7][a] which is a complex software library implemented primarily in C++ as part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and used as a backend engine for playing various multimedia formats such as MP4 files.

"in release mode, overflow is not checked and is specified to wrap as two’s complement."
Of course the inherent safety of Rust can be turned on and...

One test cases for the CPU is to overflow a register and make sure it sets the appropriate CPU flags. When I run this case, the program panics and I get the error: panicked at 'arithmetic operation overflowed' (rest of question is how to turn it off)
