https://security.humanativaspa.it/exploiting-amd-atdcm64a-sys-arbitrary-pointer-dereference-part-2/
This time, @ale98 covers how to craft PoCs for the arbitrary MSR read and arbitrary pointer dereference vulnerabilities described in his previous article, with step-by-step advice for debugging with #IDAPro.
Enjoy... and stay tuned for the third and last article next week.

Dutch intelligence agency #AIVD warns that 'introducing a scanning application on every mobile phone with an associated infrastructure of management systems creates an extremely large and complex system. This complex system thereby accesses a large amount of mobile devices and the personal data on them. This ultimately results in a situation whose risks to digital resilience the AIVD considers too great.' đź’Ż #CSAM #chatcontrol https://mastodon.nl/@bert_hubert/113231287067384382

Pro-tip if you are searching for anything HTML, CSS or JavaScript related: add "mdn" to your query. This Mozilla project really is a work of love, maintained by hundreds of volunteers @openwebdocs and @MDN staff and contractors. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn
I am wondering how many people and organisations genuinely have “opponent that can break into a cloud provider, steal hard disks, then extract coherent data from them outside of the cloud storage systems” in their threat model. Because I’m guessing in most cases such an adversary has easier and more effective ways to get at any at-rest data. Encrypting the drives a, for instance, RDS database is running on is not bad, but in most cases prioritising this over other security work seems like it’s driven by audit checkboxes rather than a full analysis. Do it, but fix the big ticket stuff first.
This may be an excessively cynical view.
Wouldn’t it be easier to make it illegal to trick, mislead, or defraud people?

Everyone was up in arms about the CUPS thing but this is much more serious: CVE-2024-45200 https://github.com/latte-soft/kartlanpwn
I bought a HTML template for a site I'm making. Typically I just pull the compiled html files out and make a standalone project which I maintain in a text editor. But, this time I figured it's time to learn modern web development so I tried using the toolchain it came with.
The toolchain consists of 3,446 dependencies, runs 15 processes, and uses 3 GB of ram. Unfortunately I can't run for president, but if I could I would run on the platform of making Node.js illegal.
