Microsoft Visual Studio makes it possible to develop a binary planting-positive (i.e., vulnerable) application without you having to write a single line of code. Every MFC application seems to be automatically made vulnerable, with those statically linking MFC libraries actually having the vulnerable code integrated in their executables, making it harder to deploy patches to users. http://blog.acrossecurity.com/2010/10/how-visual-studio-makes-your.html Pleasant reading, Mitja Kolsek CEO&CTO ACROS, d.o.o.
