Saying "never" is too bold. But it's definitely getting immensely difficult.
There are still plenty of other flaws besides memory unsafety to exploit. I doubt that we'll see like a formally proven mainstream OS for a long time.
- wbl 1y agoThose flaws get harder the more restricted devices are.
- bigyabai 1y agoDepends. If "restriction" means "complexity" then you may end up with scenarios like the BlastDoor vulns (eg. FORCEDENTRY).
- MBCook 1y agoTrue. But if developing an exploit takes 15 years and the average life of the device is five then to some degree that is effectively perfect.
