Gcc isn't assuming the program will crash with (this) undefined behaviour. Gcc is assuming that the program doesn't get into undefined behaviour. And if it does, that is a bug in the program.
The correct behaviour isÂ…, well, undefined. So opening a security hole is no less correct (by definition) than crashing or causing "demons to fly out of your nose".
