Numba Security Assumptions

Numba is a just-in-time compiler which can generate arbitrary LLVM IR, compile it, and load it immediately into the running process. As a result, the compiler should not be used with untrusted inputs. This includes both the function being compiled, but also arguments to the compiler decorators (@jit, @vectorize, etc) that control code generation. Additionally, Numba-compiled code, like C and FORTRAN, is not intended to be memory-safe.
