Half-Baked Code Feast: Memory Munchers Found in Critical Open Source Projects
Attention memory-safe mavens and code connoisseurs! Over half of the 172 critical open source projects surveyed by CISA are flirting with danger, coded in the digital equivalent of a high-wire act: the not-so-safe embrace of C and C++. Time to buckle up with buffer overflows and banish bad bytes!
Hot Take:
Dear C and C++, it's not you, it's us... Well, actually, it is you. Your memory safety issues are giving us a headache, and now even Uncle Sam's cyber squad is calling you out. But don't worry, there's hope on the horizon with languages like Rust waiting in the wings to save the day from your buffer overflows and use-after-free shenanigans.Already a member? Log in here
