In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/Kconfig: make CFI_AUTO_DEFAULT depend on !RUST or Rust >= 1.88
Calling core::fmt::write() from rust code while FineIBT is enabled
results in a kernel panic:

This happens because core::fmt::write() calls
core::fmt::rt::Argument::fmt(), which currently has CFI disabled:
library/core/src/fmt/rt.rs:
171 // FIXME: Transmuting formatter in new and indirectly branching to/calling
172 // it here is an explicit CFI violation.

176 pub(super) unsafe fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result {
This causes a Control Protection exception, because FineIBT has sealed
off the original function's endbr64.
This makes rust currently incompatible with FineIBT. Add a Kconfig
dependency that prevents FineIBT from getting turned on by default
if rust is enabled.
[ Rust 1.88.0 (scheduled for 2025-06-26) should have this fixed [1],
and thus we relaxed the condition with Rust >= 1.88.
When `objtool` lands checking for this with e.g. [2], the plan is
to ideally run that in upstream Rust's CI to prevent regressions
early [3], since we do not control `core`'s source code.
Alice tested the Rust PR backported to an older compiler.
Peter would like that Rust provides a stable `core` which can be
pulled into the kernel: "Relying on that much out of tree code is
'unfortunate'".
