Thanks to C/C++, there's no end of grousing on the web about the dangers of a lack of memory safety. Coverage of the other security issues that can crop up in a language -- for example race conditions or buffer reuse -- seems to get shorter shrift.

Are you aware of a good writeup which covers all of these different classes of threats in an organized way? I'd love to see something that categorizes everything that we have to worry about at a PL level. Bonus points if it points to languages that solve the given problem or research toward doing so.
