Yeah, but that's neither CTF nor BTF's fault: that's the same problem with dereferencing pointers (and finding a way to do that while not allowing attackers to modify the thing and sneak bad stuff past you via TOCTTOU races, *without* incurring horrible overhead by forcing every such pointed-to thing to be CoWed on modification).
