http://bugs.python.org/issue17405 addresses one issue with dead code elimination.
Interesting read. I'm surprised that the researchers didn't contact us,
since the article mentions they found 5 bugs in Python. Regarding security:
the article seems to use that term mostly to attract eyeballs; there are no
specifics, just the implication that this *could* affect security.
But it's hardly news -- as GCC versions became more aggressive we've had to
fix our share of undefined code in Python. Usually the unittests catch
these early.

Ah, now I have remembered author's name. http://bugs.python.org/issue18684 contains some other fixes of this kind.

I didnt' see this at first: STACK was run against a number of systems written in C/C++ and it found 160 new bugs in the systems tested, including ... and Python (5). Has anybody contact us? I neither saw a bug report nor a mail to PSRT. Christian
