Is a _pure_ python program buffer overflow proof?
For example in C++ you can declare a char[9] to hold user input.
If the user inputs 10+ chars a buffer overflow occurs.
Short answer: NO
I disagree. You've just translated the responsability to check for
buffer overflows, from the Python VM, to the Java VM or the .Net runtime
(and all three suffered from buffer overruns and other problems in some
way or another).
A more useful question is whether the standard libraries are being
run through any of the commercial static checkers for possible buffer
overflows.
