Heimdall: Formally Verified eBPF-to-Rust Migration
Heimdall is a new automated pipeline designed to migrate legacy eBPF programs to Rust while ensuring memory safety. It identifies and repairs source-level bugs that can lead to data corruption and information leaks. The system has successfully produced 96 formally proven-equivalent translations across 102 eBPF programs.
- ▪Heimdall automates the migration of legacy eBPF programs to Rust with formal guarantees of behavior preservation.
- ▪The system uses large language models and static analysis to ensure safe translations and repairs compilation errors.
- ▪Heimdall has identified previously unreported information leaks in ten open-source eBPF programs.
