The logical conclusion from this is to move to a language with automatic memory management.  The "top vulnerability" reports for programs written in C/C++ and most other languages so different that starting a new project that processes untrusted data in C/C++ is becoming indefensible.

We seem to be stuck with C as the lowest common denominator that can be used from any runtime; long-term we _need_ to move away from that, or Linux will gain the reputation of least-secure OS around. 

Now, what to move to?  I currently don't have see any language/runtime I could recommend, which is in itself rather frightening.
