Lisp is a memory-safe language with automatic memory management, which removes all of the aforementioned classes of attacks that are available in C. In addition, the Lisp compilers are written in Lisp itself, not in C, which further decreases the attack vector.
Also, the currently-in-progress SICL project intends to do away with C completely, even for its garbage collection and OS-interfacing parts.

In Lisp, the programmer never frees memory themselves, so use-after-free and double-free are not triggerable by the user. Bound checks for all array types are in effect, so overflows are impossible. Strong typing and a lack of casting prevent type confusion.
Do you have any arguments other than the unsubstantial "yeah, right"?
