Something I have a hard time understanding, is how Cloudfare's cache generator page had access to sensitive information ?

Were the 2 things running on the same process? If they were not, there's no way that the buffer overrun could read an other process memory, right? it would have failed with a segfault type of error.

If so, shouldn't Cloudfare consider running the sensitive stuff on a different process, so that no matter how buggy their caching engine is, it would never inadvertently read sensitive information?
