Is there an official explanation of the kind of bug? I cannot find it.

"Let's just collectively admit it, finally - you can't write safe C++ in a codebase this complex."

Pointing the finger and saying "see?" is a pretty low quality argument.

So, I guess we should wait for the first Rust or managed language remote exploit (or whatever) to say "admit it, finally - you can't write safe... programs?".

Managed languages remove an entire class of exploits present in C and C++ programs. That alone is a very good start.
