Linux Kernel Rust Code Sees Its First CVE Vulnerability (www.phoronix.com)

The first CVE vulnerability has been assigned to a piece of the Linux kernel's Rust code.

Greg Kroah-Hartman announced that the first CVE has been assigned to a piece of Rust code within the mainline Linux kernel.

This first CVE for Rust code in the Linux kernel pertains to the Android Binder rewrite in Rust. There is a race condition that can occur due to some noted unsafe Rust code. That code can lead to memory corruption of the previous/next pointers and in turn cause a crash.
