Re: Searching for sprintf() bug exploit opportunities in core and CPAN modules

in reply to Searching for sprintf() bug exploit opportunities in core and CPAN modules

It seems to me that the problem isn't so much with Perl itself, as with the printf/sprintf functions. Wouldn't the same problem exist in C, as in Perl?
