Just saw this: Check Point finds Windows kernel vunerability: Rust programming language fail - NotebookCheck.net News

The "Fail" in question is that, seemingly, that Rust code in the kernel panicked and took down the kernel, certainly an issue, but literally the next few issues reported in the original blog post were all remote code execution in non-Rust code, and I know which I'd prefer!

It will be interesting to see if these sorts of security click-bait stories develop in the future, if Rust is starting to prevent actually bad flaws.
