This is the first year that we've ever seen fewer advisories filed than the previous year! One reason why is because the bulk of advisories for vulnerabilities discovered by the Rudra static code analyzer were filed in 2020 x.com/yechan_bae/status/1453…

We are very happy to share that Rudra received a distinguished artifact award in SOSP 2021!

Heads up Rustsceans! You might have recently gotten a security vulnerability notification for RUSTSEC-2020-0071: a potential segfault impacting `time` v0.1 (cont’d) rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTS…

This isn’t a false positive, but rather a case where the advisory has been updated to include earlier versions of the `time` crate. Unfortunately the fix is only in `time` v0.2, and it’s unclear if it can be backported to v0.1 due to API constraints.

Why so much @RustSec growth in 2020? Part of it is more @rustlang adoption and a growing ecosystem. 2020 also saw more Rust security/vulnerability research including hardening efforts like Safety Dance as well as growth in academic security research. github.com/rust-secure-code/…
