The number of vulnerabilities that we see through the program provides significant insight into the attack surfaces of each product that we purchase bugs in. These submissions sometimes reveal not only potential variants but also broader architectural flaws.…

To wrap up this blog series we wanted to include one more technique that you can use when exploiting this class of vulnerabilities. This technique, introduced to us by Abdelhamid Naceri, becomes useful when you have an on-boot arbitrary delete primitive that…
