Comment (by cypherpunks): I'd like to point out that jemalloc has more issues with security than either ptmalloc or OpenBSD's malloc. The large, aligned heaps make ASLR less effective (and that's one reason why Firefox on *nix machines is so much easier to compromise than on Windows). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20424#comment:30> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
