[$] C considered dangerous

At the North America edition of the 2018Linux Security Summit (LSS NA), which was held in late August in Vancouver,Canada, Kees Cook gave a presentation on some of the dangers that come withprograms written in C. In particular, of course, the Linux kernel ismostly written in C, which means that the security of our systems rests ona somewhat dangerous foundation. But there are things that can be done tohelp firm things up by "Making C Less Dangerous" as the titleof his talk suggested.
