Android Rust Has Zero Vulnerabilities

Android 13 has ~1.5 million lines of Rust code, and zero memory safety vulnerabilities discovered in Android’s Rust code have been found so far. This compares to 1 vuln per <1,000 lines code that Android has had historically.

A dark-mode tweet claims that Android 13 contains about 1.5 million lines of Rust code with no discovered memory-safety vulnerabilities, contrasting this with Android’s historically high vulnerability rate. The joke is a dry celebration of Rust’s memory safety and a criticism of bugs in legacy Android code, used as a reaction to discussions about programming languages, security, or software quality.
