Roughly 70% of all serious security bugs in the Chrome codebase are memory management and safety bugs; Google engineers said.
Half of the 70% are use-after-free vulnerabilities; a type of security issue that arises from incorrect management of memory pointers (addresses); leaving doors open for attackers to attack Chrome's inner components.
The percentage was compiled after Google engineers analyzed 912 security bugs fixed in the Chrome stable branch since 2015; bugs that had a "high" or "critical" severity rating.
While software companies have tried before to fix C and C++'s memory management problems, Mozilla has been the one who made a breakthrough by sponsoring, promoting and heavily adopting the Rust programming language in Firefox.
Today, Rust is considered one of the safest programming languages, and an ideal replacement for C and C++, primarily due to Mozilla's early efforts.
Google also said it plans to explore using "safe" languages, where possible. Candidates include Rust, Swift, JavaScript, Kotlin, and Java.
