You are greatly misrepresenting the comment you're replying to. It is not suggesting that Rust is better because it's newer. It's suggesting that Rust would avoid this vulnerability because Rust is designed to avoid this vulnerability. It is absolutely possible to "magically solve problems like this" at a language level. Buffer overruns are possible because of specific decisions in the design of C. They simply do not exist in, for example, Java programs. There will still be errors that can occur, but this particular bug is 100% an artifact of C.
