Now that it has been identified, it should be an easy fix, at least.
Still, it's important to remember that Rust is still a relatively young ecosystem and flaws like this exist until we get burned by them.
And in fact it's not specific to Rust, and Rust is the first language with a fix available. (Thanks to some other comments for pointing this out.) Java has apparently declared it "won't fix."
