Ownership is central and unique concept to the Rust programming language, and it refers to the way in which the ownership of resources (such as memory) is managed.
   Each value has a single owner, and when the owner goes out of scope, the value is automatically dropped. This ensures that there are no unused pointers or *use-after-free* errors, which can lead to crashes or security vulnerabilities in other programming languages.

Ownership - Rust Programming

Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability arises when dynamic memory is misused during program execution. If a program fails to reset the pointer to a memory location after freeing it, an attacker can exploit this error to compromise the program or relative program that is using same memory location

It deals with the study and practice of protecting software systems and applications from security threats, such as unauthorized access, data theft, and other malicious activities. This category encompasses a wide range of topics, including cryptography, access control, security protocols, secure programming, software exploitation, and vulnerability assessment. The subtopics within this category may also encompass security in specific domains, such as cloud computing, mobile systems, and web applications, as well as more general topics, such as software security engineering, risk management, and security testing.
