I'm more concerned about old web frameworks and untrained engineers using them to build insecure webapps and data storage than I am about potential consumer level malware.
Over time many protections have been put in place to help mitigate against native bugs like DEP, stack cookies and ASLR. While not full proof, they make these attack vectors a lot more difficult and who knows, maybe we'll start seeing fully position independent code for all system libraries making it even more difficult.
I really need to check out Rust though and see what all the hype is about :)
