Does this also mean the code generated and reviewed by LLMs will not have such issues going forward?

Quite the opposite, particularly when the biggest vendors of coding agents insist on not allowing their models to be used to check the code they generate for security issues.

If the Western AI companies get their way, only the developers/companies that have access and paid extra for the security review will get to have a lower chance of such issues.

It won't which means inevitably malicious AI will probably backdoor us. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

It just means that there will be the equivalent of infinite man-hours of barely-functional-intelligent-man to slog through code word by word and track how it affects all other code relation by relation.

It's not magic and it's not even better or even as good as a mid human, but it's something like infinite man-hours of that drudge work per hour per user.

That will find a lot in old code, and make it a lot easier to keep on finding every little thing right as it's created in new code.
