Two Dev.to articles compare memory-safety CVEs across Rust and C/C++. They argue that Rust’s ownership and borrowing model prevents many classes of memory-management bugs in “safe” code, while C and C++ commonly allow undefined behavior through manual memory management. The authors distinguish vulnerability categories: use-after-free, buffer overflows, and data races are characterized as common in C/C++ but impossible by design in Rust safe code; Rust safe code can still experience issues like integer overflow (with different behavior in debug vs. release) and logic bugs. They also emphasize limits: Rust guarantees do not extend into unsafe blocks, foreign-function interfaces (FFI) with C, or dependencies that use unsafe internally. The articles cite publicly verifiable sources rather than proprietary datasets, including the rustsec/advisory-db repository (used via cargo-audit), vulnerability distributions in the NVD/NIST by CWE categories for C/C++, and publicly referenced analyses from major vendors such as Chromium and Microsoft. Overall, they caution against using raw CVE counts alone to justify broad migration, stressing that relevance depends on threat models, integration with C, and the ability to review unsafe in critical dependencies.
