The Circle
Some years ago, I started reading the novel “The Circle” by Dave Eggers. I never finished reading it, but today I watched the movie.

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
