You can have "safe" buggy code as long as you avoid the subset of bugs that can open a security vulnerability. It's possible to make such a mistake in any language but some make it harder than others. C's laissez-faire approach to memory management makes it very easy to introduce a small bug that leads to a major security vulnerability. Indexing out of bounds in python throws an exception. Indexing out of bounds in C triggers the dreaded "undefined behaviour". Here be dragons.
