AMD and security is a bit of a sad story of incompetence and placating users with BS.
When asked to provide open source PSP code so people can trust it after public review, AMD just said they would instead give it to 3rd party auditors (I KID YOU NOT).
And their Windows RaidXpert driver package comes with outdated and vulnerable XAMPP stack, the Apache webserver configured to run as SYSTEM user.
Rust is a language that guarantees memory safety, so it can protect against certain types of buffer overflow vulnerabilities. In the Heartbleed case however, OpenSSL allocated a buffer out of which several requests were served and did not do proper bounds checking inside that buffer. Rust would not have helped here.
