Double-freeing a memory block, which can crash the memory manager and eventually the program or even the whole system. Other common C/C++ vulnerabilities include buffer overruns and string ...

Choosing a particular GC algorithm usually is not a programmer's task, as the memory management system is imposed by the adopted programming language. An exception to this rule is the ...

Rust’s ownership system prevents entire types of memory bugs at compile time. The borrow checker avoids use-after-free, double-free, and data races before code reaches production, eliminating bugs ...

Rust is blazingly fast and memory-efficient: with no runtime or garbage collector, it can power performance-critical services, run on embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.

Rust’s ownership and borrowing mechanisms guarantee memory safety at run time. Here’s how to use them in your programs. The Rust programming language shares many concepts with other languages ...

Memory vulnerabilities pose serious risks to national security and critical infrastructure,' say CISA and NSA The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Security ...

The author, Robin Rowe, freely admits to this extension being ‘C++ like’, which takes us right back to 1979 when a then young Danish computer scientist (Bjarne Stroustrup) created a C-language ...

UAF access in heap allocated memory is caused by "dangling pointers", which occurs when memory used by an application is returned to the underlying system but the pointer points to an out-of-date ...

With automatic memory management and memory-safe pointers, the open source compiler TrapC is designed to make code written in C and C++ safer.

Roughly 70% of all serious security bugs in the Chrome codebase are memory management and safety bugs, Google engineers said this week. Half of the 70% are use-after-free vulnerabilities, a type ...
