Exploitation of a kernel pool overflow from a restrictive chunk size (CVE-2021-31969)
Introduction The prevalence of memory corruption bugs persists, posing a persistent challenge for exploitation. This increased difficulty arises from advancements in defensive mechanisms and the escalating complexity of software systems. While a basic proof of concept often suffices for bug patching, the development of a functional exploit capable of bypassing existing countermeasures provides valuable insights into the capabilities of advanced threat actors. This holds particularly true for the scrutinized driver, cldflt....
