Except for memory issues in JIT-generated code from Javascript? Not all browser vulnerabilities are caused by memory safety issues in the code generated by the Javascript JIT, but several of them are (particularly "type confusion" vulnerabilities). Rust might help avoid vulnerabilities in the code generator, but not in the generated code.
