Replying to @standa_t @rcvalle
This is why we've been helping fund the development of gccrs (Rust front-end for gcc) since 2021: opensrcsec.com/open_source_s… What's mentioned in Ramon's blog is great work, but only solves the CFI subset of the larger "mixed binary" problem, and only within the LLVM ecosystem.

Porting part of a C/C++ program into Rust can make the program less secure. It has been known for quite some time but was new to me. Great read and work driven by @rcvalle bughunters.google.com/blog/4… Read one of the linked papers for more details.

Great work on cross-language LLVM CFI support for Rust! Kudos to @rcvalle 👏
Want to know how we are working with the Rust community to add LLVM CFI and cross-language LLVM CFI to the Rust compiler? Eliminating the most critical instances of cross-language attacks in mixed-language binaries (cont) spklr.io/l/6015mABf

Last Saturday I talked at @h2hconference and shared the results of working with the Rust community to add LLVM CFI and cross-language LLVM CFI to the Rust compiler...

This eliminates the most critical instance of cross-language attacks in mixed-language binaries, helping not only Google, but also the industry with secure Rust adoption. Here is the article/blog post for my talk at #H2HC: rcvalle.com/blog/2023/12/09/…
