Comment on LLVM merges SafeStack

Comments

It never occurred to me before to ask, but aren't Emscripten asm.js programs vulnerable to the same exploits C programs are? e.g. I could exploit a buffer overflow in some trusted js code to get some sensitive information from the site. If that's the case, would emcc with SafeStack mitigate that?
