Defining the memory safe problem

Read Original

This article defines 'memory unsafe' programming languages, explaining how they lead to security vulnerabilities like buffer overflows. It discusses the specific types of systems software (e.g., network servers, kernels) where these risks are most critical and argues for migrating away from such languages to improve security, especially in large codebases.
