Mechanicon 2024 is going great! So many creative and curious people sharing their ideas and finding out what else there is to see. @stdevel told me “You think you have seen it all, but then you see something at Mechanicon and you realize, that there is no limit.”

Oh and of course it has RGB 🤣

Driving forward in Android drivers

An article by @jenkins about exploiting a race condition in the MediaTek mtk_jpeg driver that leads to a variety of memory corruption side-effects.

The described data-only exploit leverages the bug to get a use-after-free on a dmabuf file structure and then gets an arbitrary read/write primitive to disable SELinux and gain root on Asus ROG 6D.

In the exploit, Seth deliberately avoided using the cross-cache techniques, as these might soon get mitigated by SLAB_VIRTUAL.

The article also covers:

— Approaches to discovering device drivers accessible to unprivileged users on Android;
— Using the MediaTek GED (GPU Extension Device) driver to gain extremely powerful slab memory control primitives.

Hey #AskFedi,

I'm looking for a #FOSS program that merges duplicate contacts in vcf or csv format.

I found vcf_contacts_merger, but it has weird python requirements that I just couldn't manage to satisfy.

Ideally either a downloadable linux app or a FOSS #Android app (or at least a non-foss Android app that I can run with networking privileges revoked).

It can't be a google app or rely on uploading my contacts to "the cloud."

#Merci!
