The current implementation is not memory safe. Go uses 128 bit structs for interfaces and slices and assumes that they are updated atomically (when they are not). It's possible to exploit this to read/write arbitrary memory and to execute arbitrary code. It appears that in practice this is very difficult so the issue is ignored. https://blog.stalkr.net/2015/04/golang-data-races-to-break-memory-safety.html https://blog.stalkr.net/2015/04/golang-data-races-to-break-m...
