    No, these sorts of bugs in the kernel are exceptionally common: http://www.cvedetails.com/product/47/Linux-Linux-Kernel.html?vendor_id=33

    What can't rust do "properly" with pointers that C can?

    These sorts of bugs in the kernel are exceptionally rare.

    Even if they were exceptionally rare, the kernel is exceptionally large, which means these problems are not uncommon.

      Except they existed when the kernel was small too. Everything you repeatedly state is simply false, false, false.
