Maxime Buquet: Versioning
I finally took time to setup a forge and some old drafts turned up. I am
publishing one of them today as is even though it’s 4 years old
(2018-08-07T13:27:43+01:00). I’m not as grumpy as I was at the time but I

Corrupting memory without memory corruption
In this post I’ll exploit CVE-2022-20186, a vulnerability in the Arm Mali GPU kernel driver and use it to gain arbitrary kernel memory access from an untrusted app on a Pixel 6. This then allows me to gain root and disable SELinux. This vulnerability highlights the strong primitives that an attacker may gain by exploiting errors in the memory management code of GPU drivers. ⌘ Read more

A fixed number of bits within the instruction register represent the operation, e.g. “op. code” — examples of these instructions include things like add, subtract, load, and store. We can imagine the instruction register like this:
