A new Linux vulnerability, known as 'Looney Tunables' and tracked as CVE-2023-4911, enables local attackers to gain root privileges by exploiting a buffer overflow weakness in the GNU C Library's ld.so dynamic loader.
It’s certainly why it is being used to build browsers and OSs now. Those are places were memory management problems are a huge problem. It probably doesn’t make sense for every match 3 game to be made in Rust, but when errors cause massive breaches or death, it’s a lot safer than C++, taking human faulability into account.
No wonder everyone’s crazy about Rust.

What makes rust so resiliant against these types of atacks?
