Most critical open source projects not using memory safe code post, juni 26, 2024juni 27, 2024 The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published research looking into 172 key open-source projects and whether they are susceptible to memory flaws. The report, cosigned by CISA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as Australian (ASD, ACSC) and Canadian organizations (CCCS), is a follow-up to the ‘Case for Memory Safe Roadmaps‘ released in December 2023, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of memory-safe code. Memory-unsafe languages are those that do not provide built-in memory management mechanisms, burdening the developer with this responsibility and increasing the likelihood of errors. Examples of such cases are C, C++, Objective-C, Assembly, Cython, and D.
