I think it's more likely that a security flaw might be found which
allows code other than yours to run. Buffer overflows were notorious
for this, as they had the side-effect of running whatever ran
outside of their buffer range, so you could in effect get a system
with an overflow hole to run whatever code you wanted. Usually a
problem like this would be limited to a specific function, but if
someone was able to guess correctly that you were using this
function then they could potentially form code that exploited it.
I'm not an expert on this sort of thing, so what I've just said is
how I roughly understand one aspect of the problem.

Good enough.
