I did not say that it did. I'm saying that I believe the same kind of attacks work against the musl allocator, or at least I think they did at that time.

Musl was not being used by the business I worked in, therefore I had no interest in continuing investigation other than trying to get an understanding of how other implementations dealt with it.

I'm sorry for any confusion.

Why is this even an attack and why would musl have whatever weakness is claimed here?
