While that's true, the likelihood of a bug like this existing in an application written in a language like python, go, or rust (heck, even C++) is orders of magnitude less than the likelihood of it being in software written in C.

Why does Python have a safe reputation around here? Everything is constantly rewritten by corporate sponsored developers and it is usually easy to find invalid accesses.

Personally, I dislike python. However, it's indisputably safer than C.
