  • The Browser Security Breakthrough That Made UAF Exploits Harder

    A deep dive into MemGC: how the Edge team eliminated Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerabilities by turning a garbage collector into a hard security boundary.

    In the mid-2010s, Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerabilities were the biggest security threat to Internet Explorer and Edge. To combat this, the team built MemGC, an architectural security boundary that brought Chakra's garbage collection directly into the DOM. By automating memory safety and abandoning manual cleanups, MemGC successfully eliminated an entire class of immediate UAF exploits. While it ultimately pushed attackers to pivot toward Type Confusion, it remains a great example of weaponizing computer science for systemic defense.

    Streaming replaced batch jobs and polling with durable logs, CDC-fed boundaries, and stateful runtimes making event time, watermarks, checkpoints, and exactly-once semantics the architectural foundation of systems that are always changing, sometimes late, and never neatly finished.
