I bet yall don't remember this one.

This is a picture of the eclipse that was over my house back in April.

I knew the exact moment of totality not because the sky turned black but because the school up the road had a viewing party for the kids and they screamed with glee when it happened.

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.
