> correctness bugs? Crashing programs? Absolutely.

Denial of service can absolutely be a security issue, as can any correctness bug if it leads to unintended behavior or corrupted data.



If that's where we're at, where unhandled exceptions are the security issues we're hanging on, I'll consider my argument won.


That might be a reasonable argument if you were guaranteed an unhandled exception in this instance. Unfortunately that's not the case.


If you could demonstrate something better than that, we wouldn't be arguing about the severity of DOS attacks.
