Yesterday's Patch Tuesday saw the release of 10 CVEs I found in DNS! These could potentially allow an authenticated attacker to gain remote code execution. A huge thank you to the DNS team who worked through and fixed these. msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/v…
Time for a new blogpost! Let's do a CHERIoT walkthrough - including a straightforward setup, understanding how we kill bug classes and mitigating attacks on our minimal TCB through practical examples, and more fun! msrc.microsoft.com/blog/2023/02/f…
Speaking of Function Overrides... here is the video of my presentation: recon.cx/media-archive/…. Thanks @reconmtl and @hugofortier !
I was super excited to talk to @44CON today, thanks for having me! If you spot me and want to talk about kernel exploits, come and say hello! If you missed the talk, check out the MSRC blog post I did: msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2022/03/22/exp… 🙂
