Summary

  • Microsoft FORGE Lab researchers found memory-safety bugs in Rust's core and std libraries, including cases where safe Rust code can trigger undefined behaviour. Using Hyenas, FORGE's frontier research version of codename MDASH, the team investigated three patterns of misplaced trust in unsafe code and what they reveal about Rust's safety guarantees.
