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.

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.
