"You can program in C in any language":

    (NOSUBSCRIPTRANGE)(NOSTRINGRANGE)BEGIN;
        DECLARE X(50);
        DO I=1 TO 100;
            X(I) = 0;
            END;
        END;

Not as insecure as C and the notorious buffer overflow exploits due to
poor language/library design. Java is noway near as insecure and as you
say this issue is due to an vulnerability in a library.
