Coverity found at least one:

vvv CID 1503716: Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL) vvv Null-checking "rm" suggests that it may be null, but it has already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check.

and tools are useful, but given the resources and the know-how of those who compete in the IOCC I think we'd have to assume they'd be able to get something through. It'd have an even higher chance of success if it could be built to target a particular hardware combination (of a desired victim) as you could make the exploit dependent on multiple parts of the code (and likely nobody would ever determine the extent, as they'd find parts of it and fix them independently).
