Rust eliminates some bug classes, but we don't even know yet how many of these vulns would've been prevented by using Rust.
It's also possible that we'd need even more architectural changes to avoid such bugs.
The idea of a microkernel suddenly becomes more appealing...

It's worth checking in on the vulns for uutils- lots of stuff! Interacting with the world outside of the compiler has lots of details. No use after frees afaik though.
