Interesting article! One thing that made me literally LOL was the fact that several exploits were enabled via a Google "style recommendation" that caused on-heap length fields to be signed and thus subject to sign-extension attacks.
The conversation-leading-up-to-that played out a bit like this in my head:
Google Engineer #1: Hey, shouldn't that length field be unsigned? Not like a negative value ever makes sense there?
GE#2: Style guide says no
GE#1: Yeah, but that could easily be exploited, right?
GE#2: Maybe, but at least I won't get dinged on code review: my metrics are already really lagging this quarter
GE#1: Good point! In fact, I'll pre-prepare an emergency patch for that whole thing, as my team lead indicated I've been a bit slow on the turnaround lately...
