What happened and what to do
On September 28, 2026, LWN published an article about Martin Uecker's presentation at Kernel Recipes. A biomedical engineering professor and developer of free software for controlling MRI scanners, Uecker discussed undefined behavior in C and whether the language could eventually become memory-safe.
For a company with critical systems written in C, a practical response is to map components exposed to this risk and establish a routine for analysis, testing, and failure monitoring. The consultancy can assess existing code and processes, then propose security measures suited to the infrastructure and business requirements.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose exposure of C systems to undefined behavior and memory risks, scope improvements, and implement and operate the necessary analysis, testing, and monitoring.
