"No way to prevent this" says users of only programming language where this regularly happens

the syslog() function in glibc has a buffer overflow that lets attackers get root. it's had it SINCE FUCKING 1993. FOR MY ENTIRE TIME ON THIS PLANET.

When will enough be fucking enough and we ban the writing of new programs in C from an industry standards level?

When will us fricking fricks learn that our actions have consequences?

Ideally, I'd like to see libc get ported to another more sane programming language, but that take would get me pilloried by neckbeards that insist that C is possible to write safely.

At least I don't have to be pager bitch for THIS time when the entire internet broke due to C.

Absolutely agree. Let's all move to c++. Everything will be so much safer.

Heheheh.
