windows_kernel_shadow_stack

Proof of Concepts This project aims to highlight certain aspects of the shadow stack mitigation implemented by Microsoft in Windows 11. The code is specifically focused on Windows 11 24H2. It may not work on other version of Windows 11, due to the kernel offset management. The project is divided...

kernel: Linux kernel: Arbitrary code execution via userfaultfd shadow stack manipulation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's userfaultfd mechanism. A local attacker with userfaultfd access could register on shadow stack Virtual Memory Areas VMAs. By discarding a page and injecting a page with chosen return addresses, an attacker could achieve arbitrary code execution. This...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the efirtasmwrapper of efi-rt-wrapper.S, there is a possible way to bypass shadow stack protection due to a logical error in the code. This could result in a local escalation of privileges without the need for additional execution privileges. User interaction is not required for exploitation...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, and Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scs: A wrong parameter was fixed in scsmagic. The scsmagic function requires a void variable, but a struct taskstruct is provided instead. taskscstsk represents the starting address of the task’s shadow call stack, and...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RISCV: Fixed a race condition when vmap stack overflow occurs. Currently, when detecting vmap stack overflow, RISCV first switches to the so-called shadow stack, and then uses this shadow stack to call getoverflowstack, in order ...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72385

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/fprobe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in fprobefgraphentry fprobefgraphentry sizes a shadow-stack reservation in one walk of the per-ip fprobe list and fills it in a second walk, both under rcureadlock only. A fprobe...

CVE-2026-68166

The CVE-2026-68166 issue in the Linux kernel is addressed by restricting userfaultfd registrations. The fix updates vma_can_userfault() to reject VM_SHADOW_STACK and VM_SPECIAL so that drivers implementing vm_uffd_ops cannot register special VMAs with userfaultfd. VM_SPECIAL’s inclusion of VM_DON...
