It's funny that the boneheads at #CISA and the FBI think this is all up to the big companies to fix. Why would that be the case, again?
American companies generally are only "in the game" for the bottom line or attaining maximum profit. There are very few exceptions to this capitalist rule of thumb.
They generally don't care at all about making significant effort; of any kind.
Am I wrong? Where is the lead from big businesses here with rewriting #codebases in memory-safe languages?
This is where #government is 100% inept.
And the boss man or CEO of every typical big business in America keeps on lying about the nature of the corporation in general, all the time. All of yesterday's failed promises by them keep catching up to everyone.
Get a life, and not a job -- folks...
We may have to endure this dilemma for a while longer. Both VMware and "Microshaft" do not know what time it is, with regard to breaking past the status quo. As I see it now, they still haven't really known or understood what time it is since about... 2005?
But sure keep blaming Open Source for not taking more initiative here. Tell us GPL doesn't make money since "there's no there, over there."
Why don't YOU MUTHAFUCKAS instead pay us to organize some regional-level code development projects which are operationally adjacent to high-density work areas such as Seattle, San Francisco, New York City, and Portland, Oregon? Help some of us do something about this, instead of asking for all of the world's Open Source volunteers to work for nothing for the rest of our lives -- Raghu #Raghuram, Larry #Ellison, Satya #Nadella? Fuck you, too if you don't like this idea. I wonder why you CEOs wouldn't? A more regional approach to software would spell the beginning of the end of your little monopolies/fiefdoms in providing business software-as-a-service.

" Both agencies understand that rewriting entire codebases in memory-safe languages will require "significant effort," and as such recommend manufacturers implement a phased transition plan. While making this shift, "manufacturers should also consider leveraging technologies to limit memory safety vulnerabilities in their existing code bases," CISA and the FBI note. "
