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.

Rust would not of fixed this
Rust isn’t magical
Explain how a use after free could occur in safe rust, because to my knowledge, that is exactly the kind of thing rust does protect against.
Easy. Do some specific incantation that barely looks like it follows rust syntax that is specifically made to exploit a bug in the rust compiler.
Duh, by wrapping it in an
unsafeblock.Boom.
You never say “would not of”. It’s “would not have”.
Rust would have prevented this, because the borrow checker prevents use-after-free vulnerabilites.
Do you know what a use-after-free bug is? Rust was literally designed to make this type of memory bug impossible.
