I don't think there's anything special about C that would make C
programs more liable to exploitation through buffer overflows.  It's
maybe a bit more likely to make _coding errors_ that lead to buffer
overflow, just because of the heavy use of string functions in C, but I
don't think you're talking about coding errors.
