I’m not aware of any memory corruption bugs, but some weird cases where Linux, stuck with legacy 8-bit character handling for filenames and paths, lead to unesirable behavior with Rust’s native Unicode strings.
The race conditions were indeed TOCTOU bugs. In a sense, the bugs were a result of incorrectly handling shared mutable data, though in this case the mutations were external to Rust.
