11-year-old unsoundness bugs found in Rust borrow checker
Original: 11 year old unsoundness bugs found in Rust borrow checker
Two previously unknown unsoundness bugs in Rust's borrow checker have been discovered, and they are estimated to have existed for around 11 years. The report was filed in the Rust compiler's issue tracker, drawing significant attention from developers discussing what the long-lived soundness holes mean for guarantees the language is famous for. Soundness bugs are treated as serious in Rust because its borrow checker underpins the memory-safety promises central to the language's appeal.
Why now: Rust's reputation rests on memory safety, so decade-old holes in its core borrow checker are striking to developers.
