+Rust releases. The repository is tool agnostic and welcomes the addition of
 new tools.
 
 The goal is to have a verified [Rust standard library](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/) and prove that it is safe.
 1. Contributing to the core mechanism of verifying the rust standard library
 2. Creating new techniques to perform scalable verification
 3. Apply techniques to verify previously unverified parts of the standard library.
 
-## [Kani](https://github.com/model-checking/kani)
+For that we are launching a contest that includes a series of challenges that focus on verifying
+memory safety and a subset of undefined behaviors in the Rust standard library.
+Each challenge describes the goal, the success criteria, and whether it has a financial award to be awarded upon its
+successful completion.
 
-The Kani Rust Verifier is a bit-precise model checker for Rust.
-Kani verifies:
-* Memory safety (e.g., null pointer dereferences)
-* User-specified assertions (i.e `assert!(...)`)
-* The absence of panics (eg., `unwrap()` on `None` values)
-* The absence of some types of unexpected behavior (e.g., arithmetic overflows).
+See [our book](https://model-checking.github.io/verify-rust-std/intro.html) for more details on the challenge rules
+and the list of existing challenges.
 
-You can find out more about Kani from the [Kani book](https://model-checking.github.io/kani/) or the [Kani repository on Github](https://github.com/model-checking/kani).

+# Challenge 13: Safety of `CStr`
+
+- **Status:** Open
+- **Solution:**
+- **Tracking Issue:** [#150](https://github.com/model-checking/verify-rust-std/issues/150)
+- **Start date:** *2024/11/04*
+- **End date:** *2025/04/10*
+- **Reward:** *N/A*
+
+-------------------
+## Goal
+
+Verify that `CStr` safely represents a borrowed reference to a null-terminated array of bytes sequences similar to
+the C string representation.
+
+## Motivation
+
+The `CStr` structure is meant to be used to build safe wrappers of FFI functions that may leverage `CStr::as_ptr`
+and the unsafe `CStr::from_ptr` constructor to provide a safe interface to other consumers.
+It provides safe methods to convert `CStr` to a Rust `&str` by performing UTF-8 validation, or into an owned `CString`.
+
+Any issue with this structure or misusage of its unsafe methods could trigger an invalid memory access, which poses
+a security risk for their users.
+
+## Description
+
+The goal of this challenge is to ensure the safety of the `CStr` struct implementation.
+First, we need to specify a safety invariant that captures the essential safety properties that must be maintained.
+
+Next, we should verify that all the safe, public methods respect this invariant.
+For example, we can check that creating a `CStr` from a byte slice with method `from_bytes_with_nul` will only yield
+safe values of `CStr`.
+
+Finally, for unsafe methods like `from_ptr()` and `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked`, we need to specify appropriate safety contracts.
+These contracts should ensure no undefined behavior occurs within the unsafe methods themselves,
+and that they maintain the overall safety invariant of `CStr` when called correctly.
+
+### Assumptions
+
+- Harnesses may be bounded.
+
+### Success Criteria
+
+1. Implement the `Invariant` trait for `CStr`.
+
+2. Verify that the `CStr` safety invariant holds after calling any of the following public safe methods.
+
+| Function               | Location           |
+|------------------------|--------------------|
+| `from_bytes_until_nul` | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+| `from_bytes_with_nul`  | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+| `count_bytes`          | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+| `is_empty`             | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+| `to_bytes`             | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+| `to_bytes_with_nul`    | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+| `bytes`                | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+| `to_str`               | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+| `as_ptr`               | `core::ffi::c_str` |
+
+3. Annotate and verify the safety contracts for the following unsafe functions:
+
+| Function                       | Location            |
+|--------------------------------|---------------------|
+| `from_ptr`                     | `core::ffi::c_str`  |
+| `from_bytes_with_nul_uncheked` | `core::ffi::c_str`  |
+| `strlen`                       | `core::ffi::c_str`  |
+
+4. Verify that the following trait implementations for the `CStr` type are safe:
+
+
+| Trait                               | Implementation Location |
+|-------------------------------------|-------------------------|
+| `CloneToUninit` [^unsafe-fn]        | `core::clone`           |
+| `ops::Index<ops::RangeFrom<usize>>` | `core::ffi::c_str`      |
+
+[^unsafe-fn]: Unsafe functions will require safety contracts.
+
+All proofs must automatically ensure the absence of the following undefined behaviors [ref](https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/blob/142b2ed77d33f37a9973772bd95e6144ed9dce43/src/behavior-considered-undefined.md):
+
+- Accessing (loading from or storing to) a place that is dangling or based on a misaligned pointer.
+- Performing a place projection that violates the requirements of in-bounds pointer arithmetic.
+- Mutating immutable bytes.
+- Accessing uninitialized memory.
+
+Note: All solutions to verification challenges need to satisfy the criteria established in the
+[challenge book](../general-rules.md) in addition to the ones listed above.
