- bawolff 9mo agoI mean, even if it was written in c or c++, its unlikely two separate code bases would have the exact same use after feee vuln.
- jacquesm 9mo agoIt's unlikely, but it does actually happen. I've seen more than one complete rewrite of something important that had exactly the same bug. And I'm very sure that those sources were not related somehow.
- ceteia 9mo agoDoes the Rust implementation not use any unsafe and does not use libraries using unsafe?
- nish__ 9mo agoNo. What would be the point of that?
- ceteia 9mo agoNot Firefox, but Servo has quite a lot of unsafe, even though some of the results are false positives. https://grep.app/search?f.repo=servo%2Fservo&f.repo.pattern=servo&q=unsafe https://grep.app/search?f.repo=servo%2Fservo&f.repo.pattern=... So Servo at the very least cannot be said to be 'safe'. And I believe the Rust code in Firefox is similar.
