Replace unsafe function with safe alternative

The `security_attributes` function is marked as safe despite taking a raw pointer which will later be used. Fortunately this function is only used internally and only in one place that has been basically the same for a decade now.

However, we only ever set one bool so it's easy enough to replace with something that's actually safe.
