Halide Developers Build a Memory-Safe WebP Decoder
Original: Memory-Safe WebP Decoding
The makers of the Halide camera app have published a write-up on building a memory-safe WebP image decoder, replacing reliance on libwebp. WebP decoding has been a repeated source of security vulnerabilities in mainstream software, so implementing it in a memory-safe language is drawing attention from developers interested in reducing entire classes of bugs like buffer overflows.
Why now: Memory-safety in image decoding is a hot topic following repeated WebP vulnerabilities, and Halide's practical write-up offers a concrete alternative to libwebp.
