I'm having trouble seeing how unbounded heap allocations
aren't equally a potential DoS vector.

Generally speaking, the heap is much bigger than the stack
(often many times so) and so is less prone to overflow. Though
it's true, it still does happen if you just blindly allocate
memory based on unsanitized external input.

Wait, why? Don't they share the same address space and grow in
opposite directions?
