There are no solutions that completely mitigate the threat of vulnerabilities. From ret2libc attacks against NX to using pointers on the stack against ASLR the solutions have been circumvented. The focus should be on producing quality code. This means that both open and closed source projects should be employing many more QA team members than they currently are.
