This vulnerability, hidden within the netfilter: nf_tables component, allows local attackers to escalate their privileges and potentially deploy ransomware, which could severely disrupt enterprise systems worldwide.

Clearly you have no idea. Rust makes this kind of bug impossible.
It is still possible to have security vulnerabilities in Rust
‘Use-after-free’ bugs are a specific type of memory access bug that Rust was designed around preventing. It literally refers to trying to access a block of memory after it has already been freed by the memory allocator. Unless you go out of your way to use the “unsafe” keyword in rust (which in most cases, you shouldn’t) then this type of bug is not possible.
Utopia or nothing!
That’s not what’s at issue her LOL
Nobody claimed otherwise.
WOW. No, it would make it improbable. It’s not like there can’t be zero-days for Rust, bud. This particular attack vector deals with memory handling, and sure, Rust’s main feature is memory security and management. Doesn’t mean there aren’t bugs to exploit there.

Did you even read the article you posted? This is about malware written in Rust being harder to analyze (or notice), not software written in Rust having vulnerabilities…
