Wait, is rust supposed to have intrinsic race condition protection? I thought its big feature was figuring out freeing memory for the dev instead of relying on runtime solutions or manual instructions… If it’s not supposed to magically fix possible race conditions, I don’t know how this issue is the language’s fault.

It’s not. It’s literally code in an
unsafeblock. The OP is either trolling or actually ignorant.https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/races.html
I know that it was unsafe block in this CVE, but the irony of the situation is funny.
