Turns out snprintf() in old Windows C runtimes is documented to have the buffer overflow that no other implementations do. 🤔

Exploitation Walkthrough and Techniques - Ivanti Connect Secure RCE (CVE-2025-0282) - watchTowr Labs https://labs.watchtowr.com/exploitation-walkthrough-and-techniques-ivanti-connect-secure-rce-cve-2025-0282/

Does anybody know how to prevent #clang from issuing calls to libc functions like `memset` in this case when compiling C programs? I have tried I don't know how many command line arguments to try to disable it but none worked at all.

Here you have an example program in #godbolt: https://godbolt.org/z/jheYoPWzj

These are the command line arguments I've tried to disable it:

-ffreestanding -disable-simplify-libcalls -fno-builtin -nostdinc -nostdlib -fno-builtin-memset -nostdlib++ -nostdinc++

Any idea?

Added the overlay-note-region-name-pending feature to the demo behind a feature-flag.

You can play with them at https://tmr232.github.io/function-graph-overview/?showRegions

Use `cfg-overlay-start: message` and `cfg-overlay-end` comments to denote the start and end of a region.

In one of the most "on brand" things I could write, here's an interview with Dan Keyworth, Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing on how how the 2024 F1 World Constructor's Champions keep vast amounts of data and tech secured against cyber threats.

“We’ve got 200 people travelling around the world at any one time to 24 different races who, when they try to do something genuine, may look like they’re a threat to our organization,” says Keyworth.

“We’ve got to learn the different network behaviors they’re using when they’re on the road, for our business to recognize it as normal behavior when typically for other businesses, that’s abnormal behavior."

mitmproxy 11.1 is out! 🥳

We now support *Local Capture Mode* on Windows, macOS, and - new - Linux! This allows users to intercept local applications even if they don't have proxy settings.

On Linux, this is done using eBPF and https://aya-rs.dev/, more details are at https://mitmproxy.org/posts/local-capture/linux/. Super proud of this team effort. 😃
