I don't agree with the parent comment, but mmap is exposed (low-level) in the standard library and there's a high-level wrapper in x/exp. You need to be careful with mmap no matter where you're using it.

What Go mmap CVE were you thinking of?

Every time you see "segmentation fault", that right there is a CVE.

No, obviously.
Because you don't report and open the CVE, not because it isn't a security issue :)
No security practitioner agrees with you about this. Please don't troll.
I thought DOS was a security problem. Glad to learn differently!
Now your argument has become that only Go programs ever terminate unexpectedly. You can see why I've lost patience here.
