Taming the wild copy: Parallel Thread Corruption

Posted by Chris Evans, Winner of the occasional race Back in 2002, a very interesting vulnerability was found and fixed in the Apache web server. Relating to a bug in chunked encoding handing, the vulnerability caused a memcpy call with a negative length with the destination on the stack. Of...

Internet Bug Bounty: Heap overflow in H. Spencer’s regex library on 32 bit systems

The IBB's programs provide a great incentive for me to find vulnerabilities in open source software. With this one I set out to find a vulnerability in PHP and discovered that the vulnerability that I found exists in a wider constellation of applications, including BSD libc's. IBB's Alex Rice's...
