Rust News: Rust stdlib unsoundness found… by AI 🦀

The Rust Foundation has been using Claude Mythos (from Anthropic) to audit the standard library, and it’s already turning up issues.

Some lower-severity bugs are now public:

- Potential out-of-bounds write in CString::clone_into() on allocation failure

More serious findings are still under embargo.
