Hello

I want to make a list of all the vulnerabilities in C/C++.
I am aware of bufferoverflow/heapoverflow/race conditions/format string bugs/
Off-by-one/ numeric under- and overflow/ unsigned-signed mismatch

Are there other vulnerabilities in c/c++??

Hello

I want to make a list of all the vulnerabilities in C/C++.

There are no vulnerabilities at all in a nonexistent language.

The largest vulnerability of C++ (the only language which is topical
here), or any other language, is the fact that it is accessible to humans.

"Vulnerabilities".

Some-one needs a Thesaurus! Sure, there's things one must be particular
about, but these are in no way vulnerabilities! Intricacies maybe?

C is off-topic here.

"C/C++" is just asking for trouble. I drove my car/boat to work today.

How about that they're created by humans? Combine the two, and
disaster is sure to ensue...
