[$] A struct sockaddr sequel
One of the many objectives of the Linux Kernel Self-Protection Project (KSPP), which just completed ten years of work, is to ensure that all array references can be bounds-checked, even in the case of flexible array members, the size of which is not known at compile time. One of the most challenging flexible array members in the kernel is not even declared as such. Almost exactly one year ago, LWN looked at the effort to increase safety around the networking subsystem's heavily used sockaddr structure. One year later, Kees Cook is still looking for a way to bring this work to a close.

Rust in Android: move fast and fix things (Google Security Blog)
The Google Security Blog has a new post on just how well the use of Rust is working out for the Android project. We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android's C and C++ code. But the biggest surprise was Rust's impact on software delivery. With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one.
