Not at all surprising, but it's not like Rust (and others like it) are going to be a silver bullet against this. Any complex enough program running on a stored-program computer (where code is data and data is code) will be vulnerable.

You can reduce the attack surface, but never eliminate it.

Yes. But at least 70% bugs will be gone
