The question was if the exploits were due to memory safety. The answer is, yes, 100% of them are due to memory safety.

As for Java, quite a lot of the exploits against it (when it was a browser plugin) were in fact memory safety issues in the VM. But more recently what we see are serialization issues, which Rust also does not have.
