Design/Logic Flaw

The kernel in Apple iOS before 8.1.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.2, and Apple TV before 7.0.3 does not enforce the read-only attribute of a shared memory segment during use of a custom cache mode, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted app...

Apple TV and iOS Kernel Shared Memory Subsystem Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Apple iOS is the latest operating system for Apple's iPhone and iPod touch devices. Apple TV is Apple's way of allowing photos, videos and music from PCs and iPods to be transmitted wirelessly to a TV in high definition. Apple TV and iOS handle a security issue with the kernel's shared memory...

Did the “Man With No Name” Feel Insecure?

Posted by James Forshaw, Taker of Names Sometimes when I'm doing security research I'll come across a bug which surprises me. I discovered just such a bug in the Windows version of Chrome which exposed a little-known security detail in the OS. The bug, CVE-2014-3196 was fixed in M38, so it seemed...

CVE-2014-3196

CVE-2014-3196 affects Google Chrome on Windows prior to 38.0.2125.101, where base/memory/shared_memory_win.cc did not enforce read-only restrictions on shared memory. This allowed a sandbox bypass by exploiting how memory sections are shared between processes, potentially enabling a compromised r...

More Mac OS X and iPhone sandbox escapes and kernel bugs

Posted by Ian Beer A couple of weeks ago Apple released OS X 10.9.5 and iOS 8 which fixed a number of sandbox escapes and privilege escalation bugs found by Project Zero. All-bar-one of these bugs were found via manual source code auditing where there was source and binary analysis where there...

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS : linux vulnerabilities (USN-2334-1)

An flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's audit subsystem when auditing certain syscalls. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to obtain potentially sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory or cause a denial of service OOPS. CVE-2014-3917 An information leak was discovered in the rdm...

Android Side-Channel Hack Leads to Data Loss at USENIX

A weakness in Android, one that’s likely also found in other leading operating systems, allows an attacker to infer what’s happening on a victim’s user interface and launch an appropriate secondary attack resulting in data loss. Researchers from the University of Michigan and the University of...
