ELIMINATING MEMORY SAFETY VULNERABILITIES AT THE SOURCE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

This blog post explores how focusing on writing new code in memory safe languages led to a decrease in vulnerabilities in an Android project. It posits that the next stage in security is to focus on safe coding and secure code practices. This is because vulnerabilities decay exponentially so older code will become safer over time, therefore teams should focus on writing new code in memory safe languages and only work on the legacy code when bug fixing.
