This second paper proves my point, it's funny that you tried to use it to prove yours, you obviously must not have read the conclusion...
Anyway, any paper that goes "look at all of these problems in the code!" and isn't instantly followed by patches fixing ALL of those problems by the authors of the paper, should be ignored as a troll masquerading as a "study".
