DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe C and C++ programming languages have some serious short
 comings from the point of view of security. Certain kinds of bugs in these
  languages can have disastrous consequences. Stack- or heap-based buffer o
 verruns\, double frees\, dangling pointers\, race conditions and format-st
 ring related vulnerabilities are typical examples of bugs that can make a 
 C/C++ application vulnerable to extremely powerful attacks such as code in
 jection. In a code injection attack\, an attacker succeeds in running code
  of his choosing on the target machine. This talk will discuss the most im
 portant types of vulnerabilities\, and will explain how these can be explo
 ited.\n\nProgrammers must avoid these vulnerabilities by observing strict 
 coding disciplines to compensate for the freedom offered by the language a
 nd execution environment. Recently\, improvements to the compiler and run-
 time environment have aided in mitigating the risk. An overview of such re
 cent infrastructural improvements is also presented.\n\nLocation: Sterre\,
