White House urges devs to switch to memory-safe programming languages

  • 11/08/2024
Image: Midjourney The White House Office of the National Cyber ​​Director (ONCD) urges tech companies today to switch to memory-safe programming languages, such as Rust, to improve software security by reducing the number of memory safety vulnerabilities. Such vulnerabilities are coding errors or weaknesses within software that can lead to memory management issues when memory can be accessed, written, allocated, or allocated. They occur when software accesses memory in unintended or unsafe ways, resulting in various security risks and issues such as buffer overflow, use after free, use of uninitialized memory, and double free that attackers can exploit. Successful exploitation…
