I am able to tolerate rules/discipline when I'm given a good reason for them. And I put higher emphasis on avoiding harming others than myself.
I wish the #Rust book and other sources explained the why of the borrow checker and not just the how. Particularly from a security perspective rather […]

People often claim that memory-safe languages eliminate the class of memory bugs, but that is not true and can give less experienced devs a false sense of security.
You can violate borrow checker at runtime in Rust with zero unsafe blocks. You can have null-pointer dereference in C#. You can […]

Apple's security enhancements include memory safety in C for iBoot. Users noted it's a C dialect, leveraging clang with fbounds checks for robust protection. A specific example of their technical depth. #MemorySafety 2/6
Debugging memory leaks in Swift, particularly within SwiftUI/AppKit, is a significant pain point. Many find Swift's automatic memory management harder to reason about than Rust's ownership model or Go's explicit GC. #MemorySafety 3/6
WhatsApp migrated 160,000 lines of C++ to Rust to eliminate memory-safety bugs. Here’s how compiler-level security changed its threat model.

Screenshot of a BaseFortify CVE report page for CVE-2026-24798, showing critical CVSS score details, vulnerability description, affected DagorEngine product, and AI-powered security analysis.
⚙️ Technical impact:
A buffer boundary flaw in third-party UPnP parsing code allows out-of-bounds memory access.
Exploitation may result in crashes, memory corruption, or undefined behavior in affected engines.

A key insight: Rust's memory safety is seen as a paramount advantage, critical for preventing common vulnerabilities. This often justifies its adoption despite discussions on binary size or linking preferences. #MemorySafety 3/6
Memory safety is paramount! The discussion emphasized overwriting memory on free to mitigate vulnerabilities like MongoBleed. Crucially, be mindful of compiler optimizations that could prevent effective memory sanitization. #MemorySafety 2/5
To the #Rustaceans out there, how much of an extra burden is it to write and maintain a library that exposes its public API not just via Rust but also unmangled C?

The joint statement “Improving Europe's cybersecurity posture through memory safety”, has now been published: trifectatech.org/blog/calling...
It calls for stronger #MemorySafety incentives in EU cybersecurity policies.
Thanks to all supporters and contributors!

The proposal sparks debate on Go's memory safety. Does `secret` offer a significant improvement over existing practices for protecting keys, or is it a niche solution? Go's GC already helps, but explicit zeroing targets specific attack vectors. #MemorySafety 5/6
Hacker News discussed Fil-C, a new C memory safety approach, comparing it to WASM & Rust. Key themes included its security claims, practical adoption, and the nuanced differences from other sandboxing technologies. #MemorySafety 1/6
Tor's move to Rust is largely driven by memory safety. Rust's strict compiler helps prevent common vulnerabilities like buffer overflows, crucial for a security-critical application like the Tor network. This enhances user protection. #MemorySafety 2/6
Fil-C is a compelling new direction for systems programming: a memory-safe implementation of C/C++ that keeps full compatibility with existing software, build systems and tooling.

Channel9 What's this Rust thing? Why is it important?: C and C++ have powered software for decades, but they also come with some baggage. Michael Howard explains why Rust is changing the game by catching memory safety issues before your code even runs.… #RustProgramming #MemorySafety #CPlusPlus
The article is too verbose & the discussions flame out, but some good references in both:

Memory safety discussions extended to Garbage Collection (GC). Some advocated GC as a solution for safety in system programming, while others raised concerns about its performance implications, a key trade-off. #MemorySafety 4/6
Many argue "unsafe" Rust is crucial for low-level tasks like GC, enabling direct memory manipulation for speed. The goal is often to build safe, high-level abstractions on top, not to abandon safety entirely. #MemorySafety 5/7
