How my minimal, memory-safe Go rsync steers clear of vulnerabilities
Back in January 2025, multiple different security researchers published a total of 6 security vulnerabilities in rsync, some of which allow arbitrary code execution and file leaks, so naturally I was wondering whether/how my gokrazy/rsync implementation was affected. Did implementing my own (compatible, but minimal) rsync in Go, a modern and memory-safe programming language, really rule out entire classes of security vulnerabilities?
