What technology would you have suggested be used here to catch this vulnerability early?


This is just a longer worded version of Rewrite It In Rust :-P


fulafel is not advocating catching the vulnerability, fulafel is advocating a more secure design. One possibility is Rust.


Well, Rust is not that mature, I agree today it would be an option worth considering. But people have been writing ring-0 code in safe languages for decades. And of course there are more dimensions to robust kernel design than chocie of programming language.


In the Linux kernel? Good luck…
