Google is bringing Rust to Android phone’s firmware development. “…even basic [mobile phone] operations such as call forwarding rely on DNS services.” “DNS is a complex protocol and requires parsing of untrusted data, which can lead to vulnerabilities, particularly when implemented in a memory-unsafe language (example: CVE-2024-27227). Implementing the DNS parser in Rust offers value by decreasing the attack surfaces associated with memory unsafety.” https://security.googleblog.com/2026/04/bringing-rust-to-pixel-baseband.html #Rust #security #Google
