And then note that memorysafety.org says this (in case folks haven't read it):
> Memory safety is a property of some programming languages that prevents programmers from introducing certain types of bugs related to how memory is used.
They then provide an examine of out-of-bounds read/write. Which is the exact example I noted in my linked comment.
(Note: memorysafety.org does not provide a concrete definition of memory safety, but we get enough from what it says in this case)
The site does not require the known existence of an exploit in popular software (and does not require that _any_ exploit be possible, a bug is sufficient), merely that the language fails to block "certain types of bugs".
