Halide team builds memory-safe WebP decoder in Swift
Original: Memory-Safe WebP Decoding
The developers behind the Halide camera app have released a memory-safe WebP image decoder written in Swift, intended as a secure alternative to libwebp. The move follows the 2023 libwebp vulnerabilities exploited in the wild, which exposed the risks of C-based image parsing code used across popular apps and browsers.
Why now: Interest in memory-safe replacements for widely used C libraries continues after real-world exploits like the libwebp flaw known as Blaster.
