wait3() system call as a side-channel in setuid programs (nvidia-modprobe CVE-2024-0149)

https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2025/q1/254

We have been aware of a bypass for that protection since May last year.

@stf The more I work in security the more I feel like being part of a large scheduling algorithm: we discover some information, associate some risk, then people will end up workin on some specific stuff. If we cause priority inversion, starvation, etc. then we are a bad scheduler.

In this case:
- The original recommendation ("uninstall it!") turned out to be totally unsubstantiated, we can by all means call it misinformation
- Secrecy about details added to the fear and also *actively misdirected efforts* both at level of security teams and at devs/researchers (see the confusion about #330 & people looking at new commits to find backdoors)

Since no significant new attack surface/vector was presented I don't even think the code will get that much of scrutiny as exploitability is pretty low (local with user interaction).

In the end, the cost-benefit analysis looks really bad to me.

This weeks published vulnerability research is strong enough already, now Qualys enters the party.

Reading the latest BLASTPASS writeup I can only wonder how many engineer hours must have gone into this thing. Incredible stuff!

seems close

My small child BlogFlock (https://blogflock.com) is a social RSS feed reader - share the blogs you follow with friends and strangers!

BlogFlock will always be free to use and never show you ads.

But running a feed aggregator is expensive at scale.

On top of BlogFlock's pretty decent feature set (if I say so myself), what features or service guarantees would convince you to spend $25/year on a social feed reader?

"The designer of a new system must not only be the implementor and the first large-scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them or perceived why they were important."

looks like the AI + MCP-assisted reverse engineering hype train is gaining steam! 🚂✨

in just the past few days, we've seen:
• @itszn13 integrating MCP into @vector35’s Binary Ninja (https://x.com/itszn13/status/1903227860648886701)
• @jh_pointer casually dropping his IDA MCP project, which I had to nerdsnipe myself into trying (https://github.com/MxIris-Reverse-Engineering/ida-mcp-server, https://x.com/bl4sty/status/1904631424663379973)
• @mrexodia rolling out a clean (judging by a quick code quality check) MCP implementation for IDA (https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp)
• @lauriewired dropping GhidraMCP for @nsagov’s Ghidra (https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP)

these tools are early-stage but already hint at the potential for interactive RE software running on (semi) autopilot.

makes me wonder—should we formalize a set of MCP primitives across RE tools and unify them under one overarching framework? 🤔

of course, these aren’t silver bullets. but much like typical LLM usage, in the right hands, they could be powerful time-savers.

curious to see what comes next! might be time for hacking competitions focused on small/constrained binaries to start thinking about countermeasures against AI-assisted cheesing. 👀
