With an integer overflow, no less. The thing we have ample knowledge and experience knowing exactly how to combat to stop these kinds of actively exploited problems,
Computing continues to largely be an enormous fucking mistake.
Meanwhile, we'll be writing about how we need to have "high impact libraries that help lots of users" and then give examples like CLI Parsing/JSON Parsing (https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P3023R1.html) before we sit down and go "we should have some standard library types / functions for integers...?".
v.v.v.v. cool prioritization we do, here!
Worse?
We keep calling ourselves software engineers, but engineers elsewhere advance their industry by analyzing failures and building up tools to stop those and make them standard industry practice!
But we'll just have the same 6 problems, on a regular spin cycle, for like 40 years.
