I appreciate the article, but it would be really nice if the author could add a timestamp to his blog posts. Without timestamps, it's impossible to know if any issue described in the article body still exists.

I didn't read it, because it might present outdated knowledge.

I read it. Didn’t find any outdated information in it.

Please check reply by dig1, it does contains some mis-information. It even incorrectly refer to the Heartbleed problem.

dig1 is wrong. He uses the age old C defence of "it's not a problem with the language, it's just bad programmers programming badly". Apparently buffer reuse isn't a problem because "sane" libraries don't do it. Well, I'll believe it when we stop seeing security issues in C code bases.

The fact that my perfectly valid comment was down voted like this shows that HN has a pretty dysfunctional community. I think that is my last comment here ;)
