| Rust does a few things that are relevant (I think -- I've not actually 
| used Rust):

| - unfortunately, I think that Rust only catches integer overflow in
|   debug mode.  That's a mistake, but it's probably because checking is
|   considered too expensive.

A very recent CVE against the Linux kernel exploits integer overflow
  CVE-2019-11477: SACK Panic (Linux >= 2.6.29)
