Missed this one earlier, pretty fun bug and good writeup!

So Gartner is full of shit?

Color me not surprised.

Gartner does not do rigorous research. It is an MBA gospel cargo cult consultancy. They shouldn't be taken seriously.

[RSS] Details about CVE-2024-22263: Spring Cloud Dataflow Arbitrary File Writing

https://blog.securelayer7.net/spring-cloud-data-flow-exploit/

I'd really like to read a well researched article that sums up how Linux distros reacted to the massive influx of #Linux #kernel CVE that started ~half a year – both for their #LinuxKernel packages and their live-patching offerings.

But I guess that is an enormous amount of work that no media outlet in this world is willing to pay anyone for writing. 😕

Slide taken from @gregkh's "Why are there so many kernel CVEs?" talk he gave at OSS China yesterday (https://social.kernel.org/objects/c9979d9f-399f-428b-ac56-c41598076dfa ) #LinuxKernel

I wrote a blog post on my adventures in writing a PE loader for the Xbox One exploit chain by @carrot_c4k3

There's not really anything new and this post was mostly an excuse to document how I fixed thread-local storage, but you might learn something!

I just released the blog explaining how I leveraged CVE-2022-22265 in the Samsung npu driver. Double free to achieve UAF over signalfd + cross cache + Dirty Page Table + code inject into http://libbase.so for execution by init.
