The common argument is that Rust doesn’t make everything it touches secure.
No one said Rust makes everything it touches secure. You should stop thinking in black and white. I said this specific issue would not have happened with Rust, because Rust catches this type of issue at compilation time.
I sent a link to a use-after-free bug in RedoxOS, the OS advertised as being written in Rust for security. The issue is tracked as CVE with severity 7.8.

That’s a bug.
So is this one in Linux.
