Just ten days ago on Hacker News, we had a C programmer claiming that “buffer over-runs are a rare class of bugs, and a class of bugs that are (at least on the heap, and often on the stack) trivial to find and fix” [1].

As a bonus, the person who wrote that turned out to have published C code containing multiple exploitable buffer overflows.
