According to a recent analysis on memory safety, Rust and C/C++ handle security vulnerabilities very differently. Rust's compile-time memory safety guarantees eliminate entire categories of common vulnerabilities—use-after-free, buffer overflows, data races—before code ever ships. C and C++, by contrast, continue to produce memory-safety CVEs at scale. The comparison underscores a practical divide: Rust doesn't just promise memory safety, it delivers measurable security dividends.
