Google integrated a Rust-based DNS parser (modified hickory-proto) into Pixel modem firmware for Pixel 10 to improve memory safety, reduce vulnerability surface in DNS handling, and enable broader adoption of memory-safe code in low-level firmware; the report describes tooling choices (cargo-gnaw for dependency management), C-to-Rust API bridging for response parsing, and notes prior mitigations and reductions in memory-safety vulnerabilities rather than reporting an active compromise.
