Format String Attacks in a non-C/C++ environment

A ton of people are under the impression that format string attacks are only a C/C++ vulnerability (as in, if you code in a different language, you are safe).First, read this article

Second, try this bit of C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace FormatStringsC
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                // if I was a user inputted string you would be in trouble
                String fspec = "{1},{10}";
                Console.Write(fspec, "I don’t know but ", " I’ve been told ");
                // return 0;
            }
            //generic catch all
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Oops! Shutting down app\n");
            }
        }
    }
}

Third, keep watching this space for examples in other languages
