How likely is it that a future version of c++ would tackle this issues?

  It's impossible to address 100% in C++ without breaking backwards compatibility. "Modern C++" is significantly more safe, but still isn't completely safe.

  Very unlikely. I tried, a decade ago, to get the C++ standards committee interested in safety issues. They were fixated on new template features. I once suggested, around 2002, when there was much public worry about attacks, that failure to address the safety issues in C++ constituted material support of terrorism. That really upset some people on the C++ committee. In retrospect...
