Other than that, I'm not surprised the file in question is C. Even ignoring the fact that it was you to get the link. And even ignoring that it's about a security problem...

Other than that, from a user perspective, software written in C is among the most reliable software I'm using. I'm looking at Linux, vim, xterm and so much of the infrastructure that I don't even know by name.

Some people value "security" more than they value the beauty of a nice, a maintainable, or a practical program. That's ok as far as I'm concerned...
