### AI overview

The article describes Chainguard's effort to make Wolfi, its "undistro," memory safe. It explains how memory-unsafe languages contribute to major vulnerabilities and presents the introduction of Rustls, in partnership with the Internet Security Research Group, as a way to provide memory-safe TLS in Wolfi. The article also connects Wolfi's source-based package builds and secure-by-default design to software supply chain security in cloud-native, containerized environments.

### Source excerpt

Thanks to our ISRG partnership, we are enabling memory-safe TLS by introducing Rustls to Wolfi, which now sets the standard for memory safety in distributions.
